Carried by three countries (France, Italy, Switzerland), the application of the mountain practice has been accepted and will be put to the vote of the14th session of the Intergovernmental Committee on the Safeguarding of the ICP, on 11 and 12 December in the Colombian capital. The Committee is made up of 24 members representing the 178 member states of the ICH Convention. 

 The registration, if it materializes, should enlighten the practice in the eyes of the general public and stimulate new vocations that the various Alpine Clubs have already prepared to welcome.

They are part of a commitment by the three states to "respect a fundamental principle: free access to the high mountains."
