My Smart Place

Whether high mountains or foothills of the Alps, our regions are so diverse and beautiful, although we often don't even know the most beautiful places. Whether it is your most beautiful view, your favourite museum, your most secluded clearing or your most beautiful hike, together we show you how beautiful our regions are.

Since we have a certain qualitative demand on the places that are to be uploaded here, we are looking for Smart Places Scouts who want to build up the Smart Places network of the most beautiful places in the Alps together with us. Please register as Smart Places Scout.

Help us to protect the climate, because failure is not an option!
