In the Sillpark shopping center in Innsbruck on Saturday evening, the most beautiful woman in the Alps was chosen by a nine-member celebrity jury and in front of an enthusiastic audience. This year's "Miss Alpin" is once again a blonde beauty.

This day was something very special for two beauties: Nadja Meskic, last year's "Miss Alpin" title holder, celebrated her wedding with friends and family, beaming with joy. And 22-year-old student Larissa Ranacher from Mölltal was crowned "Miss Alpin 2024" at the Sillpark in Innsbruck.

It was an exciting race for the title, which took place on Saturday evening.
