Lire les montagnes - International Mountain Day 2024

Marking a decade of literary celebration, this milestone edition of the festival will once again bring together book enthusiasts and mountain lovers from all around the Alps and beyond. Since its inception in 2015, the Reading Mountains Festival has served as a symbol of connection, uniting individuals passionate about Alpine literature and its contributions to a better quality of life in the Alps.

Culture and cultural diversity are fundamental to Alpine traditions, but they also provide space for innovation and development. The Reading Mountains Festival is a tribute to the rich Alpine cultural and linguistic heritage that connects communities while celebrating what makes them unique.

Each event organised as part of the festival creates an opportunity to bring people together, to raise awareness about the vulnerability and importance of the Alps, and to showcase how important it is to safeguard them for future generations.

As the Alpine Convention launches this special anniversary edition, they warmly invite you to join them in celebrating the spirit of Alpine literature and culture. 

Stay tuned for further updates and announcements in the coming months. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore (and maybe gain inspiration from) the fantastic events organised in previous editions by visiting our archives here.
