States of Elevation
In fall 2025, Kilian Jornet will attempt to link 14,000-foot peaks across the United States, exploring the country’s diverse mountain landscapes, engaging with local cultures, and connecting with people who are confronting the environmental challenges these mountains face, while highlighting potential solutions.
Educational Resources
At the Kilian Jornet Foundation, we believe that education is key to protecting our mountains and natural environments. This section brings together a collection of projects developed by the KJF — each with downloadable resources designed for schools, outdoor groups, or individuals. Feel free to take a look, download them, and share them!
Kids Athletes
The future belongs to the next generation! That’s why we’re excited to announce our new project: Kids Athletes, an educational program designed to inspire kids to protect our planet while having fun with outdoor sports. Through trail running, we’re teaching them to develop good habits in the mountains, combining education with action.
Running Minds
RUNNING MINDS is an initiative based on community running that combines the passion for running and the love for nature, with the curiosity of science and sustainability topics.
Alpine Connections
While Kilian is pushing the boundaries of human endurance and capability trying to connect the maximum number of 4000m mountains in the Alps, using only human-powered means and local resources, it is equally inspiring to celebrate and respect the natural values in this great region.
European Week of Winter Sports
The European Week of Winter Sports (EWWS) a Co-Funded by the European Union project, is driven by a set of clear and ambitious objectives aimed at promoting sustainability, active living, and community engagement in winter sports.
Territory, Sustainability and Environmental Preservation
New educational project in Vilafranca del Penedès in collaboration with the Centre Excursionista del Penedès and Penedès Verd.
Leave no trace in nature
“Leave no trace in nature” is the new educational project with the desire to make the youngest aware of the importance of preserving and caring for our environment. Nature is our home. Protecting it’s everyone’s responsability.
The Corps of Rural Agents, the Kilian Jornet Foundation and the Federation of Mountaneering Organizations of Catalonia (FEEC), are united in this project to promote respect for the natural environment.
LACOS/METAESTANY
Thanks to the Joan Oró and the Salvador Grau i Tort scholarships, we started the LACOS project, a scientific study in collaboration with secondary schools in the Pyrenees.
The main objective of this project is to study the importance of mountain lakes in the carbon cycle, specifically carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). The hypothesis that is formulated is whether mountain lakes are carbon emitters or reservoirs, as well as whether human impact with over-frequency or introduction of invasive species affects this balance.
Outdoor Friendly Pledge
This is a pledge that we have created from the Foundation together with Kilian Jornet.
The goal is to promote a more sustainable outdoor sports practice.
This pledge is addressed to athletes, events, brands and federations.
