INTERNATIONAL CANYONING MEETING by AIC 03 - 11 August 2019 | Chatillon
|
|
|
This year the choice of location takes us to the Aosta Valley, indeed it takes us back to Aosta Valley, where we had already been in 2011 and, shortly, in 2015.
Despite this and although the mountains of the Valle d'Aosta are the most famous and visited of all the Italian Alps, the valley still has to be fully discovered when talking about canyoning. Yet it offers many routes and canyons, some almost forgotten and others recently discovered.
The Meeting will take place under the patronage of the Municipality of Chatillon, whom we thank for the logistical support, and for the first time also of the Italian Alpine Club. This is an important and significant novelty for the AIC meetings which, once again, underlines the common interest in canyoning and a shared course of action.
The period is the typical one at the beginning of August, the base as mentioned will be at the town of Chatillon, at the entrance to the Valtournenche.
We are waiting for you, but if you are late you will find us inside some canyon!
