Day for the Protection of the Alps 2026

Our Alps are more than your selfie background.

They are foundation. Habitat. Retreat. A vital ground of life for people, wildlife, and the nature that holds it all together, and they need our protection. Not only in words. In action.

This year, the Day for the Protection of the Alps is dedicated to activism, to experiencing nature, and to taking shared responsibility.

We want to encourage you to go outside. To connect with the landscape consciously and respectfully. To notice the places and moments worth protecting, and to share them.

Get out there and show us what you want to protect.

Capture the places that matter to you. The quiet trail. The river you grew up beside. The summit that takes your breath away. The forest that holds the silence. The meadow no one writes about.

Share them with us using #protectalpinenature and tag @protectalpinenature to show why the Alps are worth protecting — together.

Every contribution counts.

Nature conservation begins where we start living it.
