Alpine Mountain Experience is an event entirely dedicated to the mountain and its many features.
Issues related to the Alpine environment are focused during 9 days through debates, meetings, great guests, as well as by beautiful images and videos.
The mountain is thus represented through its protagonists (athletes, guides, journalists, experts), tackling thematic areas such as mountaineering, ecology, wellness and health, sport and technology.
It will also be the occasion to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Tor des Géants endurance trail which for the occasion is enriched by the new “Tor des Glaciers” ultratrail, another great challenge at high altitude, with daily live connections and meetings with the protagonists.
Alpine Mountain Experience is therefore a great showcase for the alpine world, its sites, its characters, its “rules”, its spectacular nature and beauty. A world to be explored, safeguarded and promoted.
