Small and fine mountaineering villages to enjoy and linger

The Malta valley is also one of the mountaineering villages of the OeAV:
OeAV mountaineering villages are little-touched mountain resorts with an authentic character, which want to set important accents as exemplary regional development centres in sustainable alpine tourism. In addition to the Berg hiking competence, a positioning in the more demanding alpine area should take place. They guarantee a professional tourism offer for mountaineers, have an excellent landscape and environmental quality and are committed to the preservation of local cultural and natural values.

The project “Mountaineering Villages” is an initiative of the Austrian Alpine Club with the support of the Ministry of Life and co-financed by the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. The exemplary effect of the mountaineering villages extends above all to the active effort to achieve the goal of sustainable development in the Alpine region in accordance with and in compliance with relevant legal provisions, such as the implementing protocols of the Alpine Convention, and the various programmes. A uniform marketing platform is made available to the municipalities, small infrastructure projects are promoted and, above all, a broad exchange exchange with the other municipalities, ministries and advisory centres is created – in mutual benefit. This brand is intended to stand for sophisticated mountain tourism that sets itself apart from the current standard offer and offers an economically viable combination of nature conservation,identity preservation and alpine challenge.
