How is the image of the Alps changing over the decades? What traces do people and natural events leave in the landscape? Between June and September 2017, under the name whatsalp a group of alpine enthusiasts trekked from Vienna to Nice through the Alpine region. Whilst on foot, the walkers documented the current state and the changes of the Alpine regions along their journey since the TransALPedes tour 25 years ago. It is about the beauty and potential destruction of the Alps, regarding the overuse and under under-utilization of alpine cultural landscapes, and the living conditions of the population.
Along the whatsalp route, the group met in Boutiquehotel Stadthalle Vienna with representatives of the Austrian Ecolabel to discuss eco-labelling as an important option to support and present sustainable tourism in the Alpine region.
The project was carried out in collaboration with the International Committee for the Protection of the Alps (CIPRA) and the Alpen-Initiative in the context of the Alpine Convention.
