Ski Mountaineering in Val Maira
Sciare immersi nella cultura Occitana
Description
La Val Maira è una piccola perla per lo skialp, regala fantastiche gite e scenari da favola, tutti conditi dall’accoglienza da parte di un popolo , occitano, che vi sorprenderà. Il monte Sibolet, la Rocca di Meja , la Cima Ciarbonet, il Bric Boscasso, L’Estelletta sono solo alcune delle numerose vette che regalano sciate da urlo, anche quando le condizioni sono pericolose per via delle abbondanti nevicate che in inverno tutte le Alpi marittime ricevono, val Maria compresa. Insomma Val Maria the place to be!!!
