4 laureates for the 3rd Via Alpina Travel Fellowships

A travelling cinema, the first geocaching trail on the Via Alpina, the journey of a red plastic elephant and a comparison of the Alpine massifs by two teenagers: these are the themes of the four projects selected for the Via Alpina Travel Fellowships 2013, awarded by the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention, the Via Alpina Secretariat of the Principality of Monaco and the international Via Alpina network.

Finding a Geocache (archive A. Aschaber) Nufenenpass, CH, 2009 (Thomas Falk) Peitlerkofel (Vincent Neeb)

Choosing among over 15 high-quality applications was not easy. Discover here the details of the projects by the De Schutter-Versailles family, Andreas Aschaber, Thomas Falk and Vincent Neeb & Katharina Boie, as well as the summaries of the other candidate projects.

We will relay on this website the progress of each of the projects and will present you in the autumn the movies realised!

Many thanks to all applicants! Haven’t you got an idea yourself for the 2104 edition?
