In 2005, Sonthofen was named Alpine Town of the Year for its outstanding commitment to sustainable urban development – a title that still has an impact today. To mark the anniversary year, a festive ceremony was held at the AlpenStadtMuseum in mid-April.
The ‘Climate & Municipalities’ webinar on 13 January 2025 provided an overview of innovative approaches and proven measures in the field of climate action, specifically tailored to the challenges and potential of Alpine towns and municipalities.
Alpine Town of the Year association engaging on the basis of Alpine convention stands for cooperation, mutual learning and constant improvement with the aim of increasing our citizens quality of life.
The network strengthens the position of the individual cities. This enables them to make their voice heard on an international level.
The title "Alpine Town of the year" has become a trademark and a concept of quality for our town Sonthofen. The "we" feeling, which was created by the involvement of the population, still has an effect in many activities today.
