Mountain Games Cyprus 2026 is built on the principle that physical activity and access to nature should be available to everyone. Guided by the message Healthy Lifestyles for All, the event welcomes people of all ages and abilities, with particular emphasis on children and young people, families, persons with disabilities or chronic health conditions, older adults, and organisations supporting vulnerable or underrepresented communities.

Through a diverse programme of sporting, educational, and experiential activities, the event promotes participation in sport, healthy lifestyles, intergenerational engagement, the preservation of traditional sports and games, and meaningful connections with the mountain environment. At the same time, Mountain Games Cyprus 2026 aims to serve as a meeting point for stakeholders from the fields of sport, health, education, culture, and local development, fostering collaborations that generate long-term social impact.

The event is aligned with key European initiatives, including HealthyLifestyle4All, the Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) recommendations, the EU Physical Activity Guidelines, and the European Week of Sport. Through this approach, Mountain Games Cyprus 2026 aspires to become a European benchmark for integrating sport with public health, social inclusion, culture, and sustainable development.
