Abstract Addressing sustainability challenges in mountain regions where human activities strongly overlap requires multi‐actor collaboration and interdisciplinary methods. Yet, such collaborative processes need to account for the existence of diverse representations of mountain social‐ecological systems amongst actors. Here we first explore and describe diverse representations of mountain social‐ecological systems using picture‐based interviews with local actors. We then develop a conceptual model of such systems that can help actors acknowledge and share their representations. This model integrates the human and natural components of mountain social‐ecological systems as well as their interactions. To further support reflexivity, it also specifies an individual's personal stance with respect to the system.
