Viattiva<br />

Title: Viattiva - Discover the<br />

treasures of the Isarco and<br />

Pusteria valleys.<br />

Objectives:<br />

• <strong>to</strong> promote the active ageing<br />

concept for <strong>to</strong>urists and local<br />

population <strong>to</strong> adapt the hiking<br />

infrastructure<br />

• <strong>to</strong> the needs of both older and<br />

younger people.<br />

Description: The share of<br />

elderly <strong>to</strong>urists especially from<br />

Germany and Italy is expected <strong>to</strong><br />

double during the next decades.<br />

The Viattiva hiking path as a<br />

specific infrastructure (barrier<br />

freeness, rest areas, sanitary<br />

arrangements) will attract both<br />

elderly people and young<br />

families. The Viattiva hiking<br />

path employs local seniors as<br />

supervisors and hiking guides. A<br />

group of communication design<br />

students from the Free University<br />

of Bolzano developed this<br />

concept with an accompanying<br />

hiking book, a Smartphone-App<br />

and a trivia quiz game.<br />

Transferability: This pilot project<br />

can be adapted <strong>to</strong> other similar<br />

Alpine regions.<br />

Intergenerational<br />

exchange<br />

Title: Senior Taxi, local supply<br />

and intergenerational events<br />

Objectives:<br />

• intergenerational and intercommunal<br />

exchange via<br />

various events;<br />

• improve mobility and local<br />

supply in order <strong>to</strong> promote<br />

independence for elderly<br />

people.<br />

Description: A pick up and<br />

delivery service will enable<br />

elderly people <strong>to</strong> be more<br />

independently mobile and<br />

this in tandem with events<br />

like an intergenerational card<br />

contests, or knitting meetings<br />

will prevent social isolation<br />

and promote social interaction<br />

between the young and the<br />

old. A “Senior’s Column” in<br />

municipal newsletters will<br />

sensitise the population <strong>to</strong><br />

the “growing older” <strong>to</strong>pic and<br />

provide information about how<br />

old and young people can<br />

spend time <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />

Transferability: This pilot<br />

project can be adapted <strong>to</strong> all<br />

model regions.<br />
