Videos, photos, brochures
We produce useful videos, photos and material to promote our technical and educational activities aimed at achieving the social objectives.
Develop studies and research, trail projects and facilities
We contribute to the development of studies and research, path maintenance projects, including installing signposts and nature trails. We do this also with help from public institutions and private organizations.
Propose incentives to encourage hiking
We promote hiking activities and projects about protecting the environment.
Contribute to conservation
We make sure that we contribute to conservation by restoring and managing the facilities used for hiking activities (mountain huts, hostels, visitor centres) and building structures which favour easy access to these facilities for hikers with limited mobility. We also organize volunteering activities for Civil Defence and Mountain Rescue teams, as well as first aid and mountain safety courses together with other institutions and associations.
Promote and valorize the area
Cooperating with mountain communities, municipalities, local organisations, tourism associations, park and nature reserve authorities and private tourism operators, can help contribute to the development of sustainable tourism. By sustainable tourism we refer to excursions but also planning and organizing activities, including informative material, and specific events concerning the environment, history and culture, nature, sport, food, wine and high quality local products. The Association also produce promotional material to broaden people’s knowledge of the area's resources and attractions.
Support human solidarity projects
We support human solidarity projects that unite the importance of the environment and the activities in the area. Both are essential components for the complete development of humankind; by cooperating with groups, associations and institutions working in the same field as the Association, we are able to carry out shared projects.
Promote awareness-raising projects, training and information
We aim to raise awareness, provide training and information via social networks, publications, exhibitions, meetings and performances, all related to the Association’s specific interests.
Support cultural ecology
We promote cultural ecology, which is not only seen as being aware of the issues involved in protecting our natural heritage and ecosystems, but also human behaviour while promoting the appropriate action. Through community experiences, the Association promotes diverse activities, including ancient activities once used here in contact with nature.
Valorize and protect nature and the environment
To achieve this aim we develop and protect nature and the environment through sports, recreational, environmental and educational activities and projects, to learn more about plants and wildlife.
