Lighthouses are built to help guide ships. At night their beacons provide an orientation point that helps captains to navigate safely to their port of destination. It is for that same reason that CIPRA regularly features its “beacon projects”, and this Annual Report focuses mainly on the area of Construction and Living. What course have we charted? So we invite you on a journey, past our beacons and model homes, right across the Alps – enjoy!
