The Reading Mountains Festival is a way to connect people that love books and mountains, despite them being physically apart. Book lovers and authors, mountaineers and artists throughout the Alps (and beyond) have a chance to discuss similar issues and evaluate the meaning, impact, and purpose of Alpine literature. Some of these discussions are captured in the film “People, Books and Mountains - The Quest for Alpine literature” that was produced as a follow up to the first editions of the Reading Mountains Festival.

The Alpine Convention invites you to celebrate the unique Alpine cultural heritage in this special year of sustainable mountain development.

As always, your event should take place in the run-up to or on International Mountain Day, Sunday, December 11, 2022.

Join from the Alps (or beyond) and help showcase the importance of the conservation and sustainable use of mountain ecosystems and celebrating mountains around the world. If you are interested, register here to be part of the Reading Mountains Festival 2022!
