Become a Volunteer

Transform your journey into an act of solidarity!

At The High Mountains, through Solidarity Tourism, we turn travel into an experience that supports the sustainability of mountainous areas. We empower local communities, protect the natural environment and promote a socially responsible economy. Our volunteers are involved in projects that improve daily life and infrastructure in settlements, preserve biodiversity and foster environmental sensitivity.

At the same time, we promote cultural exchange, strengthen skills and build social ties that support cooperation and mutual understanding. This initiative reinforces deurbanization and highlights the potential of mountainous areas, promoting a tourism model that respects and enhances local traditions and culture.

With your voluntary participation, your journey is transformed into an act of giving and caring for nature and the communities that host you. Our hosts - associations, municipalities and residents of the mountain villages of Greece - are waiting for you to join forces and create vibrant, sustainable communities together. It's an experience that will fill you with inspiration and leave its imprint on both you and the place you are visiting.

Ενδυνάμωση της κοινότητας

Φαντάσου να βοηθάς στην κατασκευή ενός σχολείου σε ένα απομακρυσμένο ορεινό χωριό ή να υποστηρίζεις έργα υποδομής που βελτιώνουν τη ζωή των κατοίκων της περιοχής.

Διατήρηση των θησαυρών της φύσης

Πάρε μέρος σε προσπάθειες διατήρησης που προστατεύουν τη μαγευτική ομορφιά των ορεινών οικοσυστημάτων. Είτε πρόκειται για αναδάσωση, προστασία της άγριας ζωής ή συντήρηση μονοπατιών, οι προσπάθειές σου συμβάλλουν στη διατήρηση αυτών των φυσικών πόρων.

Πολιτιστική διασύνδεση

Ο εθελοντικός τουρισμός είναι μια αμφίδρομη πολιτιστική ανταλλαγή. Μάθε από τους ντόπιους όσο και εκείνοι από εσένα, προωθώντας την κατανόηση και την εκτίμηση των διαφορετικών πολιτισμών.

Ενίσχυση της τοπικής οικονομίας

Η παρουσία σου ως εθελοντής ωφελεί τις τοπικές οικονομίες και παρέχει βοήθεια στηρίζοντας τους τοπικούς τεχνίτες, παραγωγούς, πολιτιστικούς συλλόγους και ορεινούς δήμους να αναπτύξουν τη δραστηριότητα τους.

Εκπαίδευση και δεξιότητες

Μοιράσου τις γνώσεις και τις δεξιότητές σου και ενίσχυσε τις δικές σου. Βοήθησε τις ορεινές κοινότητες και επωφελήσου από αυτές αλληλεπιδρώντας με τους ντόπιους και μαθαίνοντας κοντά τους.

Δημιουργία ισχυρότερων δεσμών

Καθώς συνεργάζεσαι με τους κατοίκους της περιοχής, δεν κάνεις απλώς εθελοντισμό, αλλά χτίζεις διαρκείς δεσμούς, προάγεις την κοινωνική συνοχή και αφήνεις μια διαρκή κληρονομιά.

Mountain product

The quality designation "mountain product" denotes the distinctive qualities of a product made in mountainous regions under challenging environmental conditions.

Both farmers and consumers benefit from this acknowledgment. It not only makes certain characteristics of the product clear to the consumer but also helps farmers market their products more effectively.

  • Products: agricultural and food products.
  • Specifications: The raw materials and animal feed come from mountain areas. For processed products, production must also take place in these areas.
