Yoalin 2020 was different…
The current Covid-19 situation is a major challenge for Europe and for the Alps. For health reasons we have decided not to offer Yoalin passes for travelling in the Alps in 2020. Nevertheless, we are still committed to sustainable travel in the Alps and doing different communication and online activities this year to raise awareness and strengthen the Yoalin community. This is possible thanks to the funding by our partners.
Our activities in 2020:
- A photo contest in cooperation with the Alpine Convention
- A map of yoalin proofed travel destinations
- A hospitality list (meet somebody for a beer or offer your sofabed to others, and stay connected – of course, if the sanitary situation allows)
- We are developing new and useful print products and some merchandise for the next edition
- Stay connected on our Social Media channels: Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp (contact us for the internal Whatsapp-group or for news on the project)
- We hosted an online-session at the AlpWeek in December 2020, listen to it in the CIPRA-Podcast:

“A lot of effort is put into new activities, which often have a fun factor to them. In terms of the sustainability factor, I think that progress is somewhat disappointing”, says Paul Peeters, lecturer in sustainable transport and tourism at Breda University of Applied Sciences:
