Description
I propose you to go on a trail trip through Sicily and its volcanoes. You will discover all the Sicilian culture from the majestic Etna to the Aeolian Islands, the most volcanic region in Europe. This trip is the most beautiful destination in my catalog and it allows the trailers, in addition to the trip, to create real links between them and the locals.
The +:
- Small groups allowing personalized training.
- A mountain leader specialized in this field and accustomed to the competitive environment .
- Theoretical and pedagogical courses.
- A certified product (PNR, France Tourisme).
- Friendliness and fun guaranteed.
If you're in the mood for other sporting escapades, you can follow me on a trail crossing of the Pyrenees or a trail trip to Cathar country.
