Abstract

ALS = overnights/arrivals. Period 2010.

In most parts of the Alps, four nights is the usual length of overnight stays. The average length of stay in the whole Alpine Convention territory amounts to 3-4 days and only 11.2% of the Alpine municipalities (651 out of the 5,809) register an average length of stay higher than four days. It seems that the more central the location in the Alps, the longer the stay.

Vice versa the destinations close to larger cities (e.g. Bozen/Bolzano, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt) or at the borders of the Alpine area are characterized by short stays of no more than three days. Overnight stays longer than six days are the exception and can be found only in places distributed heterogeneously over the whole Alpine region.
