        JUNE 8-9: Ellero Valley: meadows and pastures as far as the eye can see, dolomites, limestones, views

        JUNE 8: Porta Pian Marchisio-Passo delle Saline.

        JUNE 9: Porta Pian Marchisio-Lake Rataira. Again, very very easy route in the first part, then more 'hiking' in the second, but still without any particular technical difficulties. The lake in the finale (and an ephemeral one earlier), the karst and dolomite aspect of the area give really striking and spectacular details and views. Height difference: about 600 m. Route: about 12 km. Meeting at 9:30 a.m. Porta Pian Marchisio (Roccaforte Mondovì). Return to the cars at 4 pm

        EXCURSION PROGRAM FAMILIES AND CHILDREN 0-2 YEARS

        The news is not strictly about CleanAlp, but it has a lot to do with promoting mountains, the environment and health. With pride, we tell you that we at European Research Institute are promoting an initiative that is currently unique in Italy: inclusion and experience in nature for children from 0 to 2 years old, with their parents.

        Participants will experience this with me, Franco, and a developmental psychologist. A THIS LINK. find all the necessary information, and we ask you to share it with anyone you think might be interested.
