In July 2025, around 370 children and young people took part in local Youth at the Top events across the Alps and the Carpathians.

Under the shared theme “Our Footprints in the Alps”, participants explored how humans interact with mountain environments. Activities ranged from collecting litter and discussing its decomposition times, to visiting alpine pastures and learning about traditional mountain farming, as well as discovering historic mountain passes that have served as important transit routes for centuries – places where people have been leaving their footprints long before today.

The newly released Best-of Video captures the highlights of the 11th edition of Youth at the Top and offers inspiring insights into the diversity of events and experiences across the mountain regions.

Youth at the Top is coordinated by ALPARC with financial support of the German Ministry for the Environment (BMUKN).
