The IMS-International Mountain Summit® is an international platform which discusses, celebrates and casts a new light on the mountains in all their different facets. The mountains are just as diverse as their admires and climbers: They are both living space for people and a habitat for nature. All at the same time, they have market potential and offer individual challenges. Being one of nature’s incredible marvels, they open the eyes of individuals and leave their mark on entire cultures. Thanks to its location in the heart of the Alps, South Tyrol is the ideal host for this comprehensive summit event dedicated to the mountains. With the city of Brixen/Bressanone, the IMS has chosen a very special venue at the foot of a stunning and proud UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site: the Dolomites.
