Canyoning nelle Alpi Occidentali

This book is aimed at a heterogeneous audience, among the cards there are rivers of very variable difficulties: they range from the playful route to the decidedly challenging one. Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont and Liguria, the immense stage that this work proposes covers an area of 16,000 square kilometres, dozens of valleys and hundreds of side valleys. Countless waterways that have carved their thousand-year history through the rock, shaping beautiful works. Sculptures of stone and water, where the wind, climatic variations and time are the elements that have left their mark. An enchanting scene formed over very long eras within which to move with respect for those who are a blink of an eye, or rather 75 million blinks of an eye: the span of our life. This guide is the result of several years of gestation, checks, dozens of outings dedicated solely to the purpose of documenting the descents as best as possible. Each descent is an adventure in itself: from year to year the rivers change, the anchorages and the artificial stratagems that we put in place to go where it would not be possible to do without them, suffer deterioration due to exposure to the elements, as well as floods and Landslides profoundly modify the morphology of rivers, always keep this in mind.
