The Alps are more than just mountains β they are home, culture, stories, and flavors. It takes many people to co-create and ensure they remain vibrant in the future.
In 2005, Sonthofen was named Alpine Town of the Year for its outstanding commitment to sustainable urban development β a title that still has an impact today. To mark the anniversary year, a festive ceremony was held at the AlpenStadtMuseum in mid-April.
The newly published report from AlpWeek 2024 highlights key discussions and strategies for ensuring a sustainable future for the Alpine region. Held in Nova Gorica/SL the event gathered over 200 participants from politics, research, non-profits, and civil society under the theme βAlps in Our Handsβ.

The title "Alpine Town of the year" has become a trademark and a concept of quality for our town Sonthofen. The "we" feeling, which was created by the involvement of the population, still has an effect in many activities today.
