The Jezersko Municipality becomes a member of Mountaineering villages

Mountaineering Villages (Bergsteigerdörfer) is an international network of towns and villages that strive to develop their tourism based on the tradition of mountaineering, without excessive infrastructure, and through a sustainable approach. Twenty-five villages in Austria, Bavaria, South Tyrol, Italy, and Slovenia are currently included. The first Slovenian village to be part of the project is Jezersko and three more locations will be joining the project later this year: Kreuth in Germany, Lungiarü in South Tyrol, and the Italian village of Val di Zoldo.

All the locations that are part of this network have a rich mountaineering and cultural tradition, are environmentally responsible, and allow for numerous activities without excessive infrastructure. Visitors can learn about the local history and cultural heritage and enjoy their hospitality and local cuisine, all of which makes this project a very positive influence on the development of the local economy. 

Jezersko, which lies at the foot of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Karawanks, is one of a hundred landscape areas defined by the Spatial Development Strategy of Slovenia as having recognizable features which are important at the national level. Tourism in Jezersko has always been based on the incredible mountains which give the village its identity. Rich geological history, impressive mountain walls, vast forests, valleys sculpted by glaciers, remarkable biodiversity, old farms, and a rich heritage of mountain hiking and climbing: all this and more awaits you in Jezersko. So take your time and enjoy the rich heritage of stories and experiences found here: both in the mountains and in the valleys nestled among them.
