What to bring?

Clothes: apart from the evening of the arrival in Turin, we will be in sport clothes the whole weekend. Remember the 3-layers principle and bring enough underlayers, a fleece and a waterproof layer. It can be very warm at 400m and pretty chilly at 2300m. No need for sleeping bag or pillow on the mountain (it is provided) so a small backpack with change of clothes will do. Padded shorts and gloves are recommended for mountainbiking, helmet is provided. For the water activities it is enough to bring a swimshort and towel, wetsuits are included in the rental price.

Cancellation?

If for any sad reason you won't be able to make it at the last minute, we cannot refund your ticket. Given that the places available are very limited and that the activities are planned for 8 people maximum, our partners in Italy will charge us the full amount anyway. The best we can do it is to let you give/sell your place to someone else...no problem about that!
