The history of Alpine Pearls

Alpine Pearls was founded in 2006 by 17 member locations, the “Pearls of the Alps”. This was one of the results of the two EU projects Alps Mobility and Alps Mobility II. Both go back to the initiative of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management. The focus here was on the creation of innovative, sustainable and climate-friendly tourism offers. The results of these EU projects are implemented in the Alpine-wide, transnational umbrella organization Alpine Pearls.

From 2007 to 2016, further new members were admitted who focus on gentle tourism, climate protection and sustainable holidays. Today there are 18 Pearls of the Alps in four countries where you can consciously and stress-free enjoy your eco-friendly holiday.
