Yoalin (Youth Alpine Interrail)

75 percent of CO2 emissions in Alpine tourism are related to transport, especially travelling to and from the destination. Sustainable mobility is therefore a key to climate protection. Train tickets are often expensive, especially for fast and cross-border connections. Young people therefore usually choose cheaper transport options and travel by plane or car on holiday. In order to raise awareness of climate-friendly means of transport, an affordable offer must be created. This is the only way to increase the use of sustainable means of transport in the long term. The YOALIN project aims to make climate-friendly travel mainstream.
YOALIN was initiated by the CIPRA Youth Council (CYC) in 2016. Its members are still actively involved, as are former YOALIN travellers - so-called "Ambassadors".

Funding

YOALIN is an initiative of CIPRA and the CIPRA Youth Advisory Council (CYC) and is supported by the Alpine Convention and EUSALP Working Group 7. It is funded by two contracting parties to the Alpine Convention – Austria and Germany – the Lebenswertes Liechtenstein Foundation, and through the Erasmus+ project “Alpine Youth on the Move”.
