The project "Respect the mountains" aims to raise awareness of environmentally friendly conduct among visitors, locals and tourism professionals in the Dolomites, UNESCO World Heritage. It seeks to encourage everyone to act respectfully and responsibly in the mountains as well as in everyday life. Its key topics are drinking water and waste prevention.

South Tyrolean tap water is drinkable and of a high quality. But water, including our drinking water, is a rare and precious commodity.
The project "Respect the mountains" teaches tourism professionals, locals and guests about the high quality of our tap water and how to use it carefully and respectfully.
Marked refill spots are available in the villages and on the walking trails for visitors and locals to refill their own water bottles.
