Cultural exchange: Schlaiten and mus celebrate their friendship!

Mus, Frankreich - An exciting partnership between the small East Tyrolean village Schlaiten and the French place Mus takes shape! As dolomitenstadt.at was decided in June 2022 when the local council came up with an innovative idea that by Monsieur Ghislain Marcant, a local council with an Austrian-French reference. In May 2025, a delegation from Schlaiten will travel to Mus to consolidate this exciting connection. The trip takes place from May 25th to 31st and promises culture and culinary highlights, including stopover in Nice and an exploration of the beautiful Camargue. So far, 21 people have already registered, with at least 30 registrations required to make the trip financially portable. Myriam Détruy, who is responsible for the organization, encourages everyone to enroll, and assures that the language barrier is not an obstacle.
