Canyon di GORGOPOTAMOS

 

Questo viaggio ha un obiettivo molto ambizioso, la discesa di uno dei 5 canyon più importanti d'Europa: GORGOPOTAMOS. Si tratta di una gola molto lunga, enorme e profonda, dove è necessario avere una buona esperienza precedente in canyon impegnativi. Qui tutto è grande: una gola profonda con alcune

 pareti fino a 700 metri, grandi cascate fino a 80 metri, un forte flusso d'acqua, vasche grandi

e profonde. Tutto per rendere un appassionato di canyon appagato per tutta la vita.

Il canyon si trova nella Grecia centrale, vicino alla città di Lamia. Saremo ospitati in un rifugio

di montagna a 1.250 metri di altitudine e con vista sul mare ! I giorni in più del viaggio

saranno utilizzati per fare altri canyon nella stessa regione. Alcuni bagni termali fanno parte del viaggio.

 

Periodo: il periodo ideale è da metà settembre a metà ottobre per avere le migliori condizioni nel canyon.

 

Dimensione del gruppo: 5 per guida.

Complessità viaggio: bassa.

Requisiti: curriculum di canyoning di buon livello.

Durata: minimo 3 giorni.

Attività previste :

Canyoning nella Serra de Tramuntana. Questa regione montuosa di Mallorca forma

una barriera calcarea naturale che si affaccia sul mare, infatti diversi canyon terminano in spiaggia

 o addirittura direttamente in un fiordo marino.

 Oltre ai canyons si trovano molti siti di arrampicata molto belli.

La regione è classificata come Patrimonio Mondiale dall'UNESCO.

 

I canyons principali e la loro valutazione internazionale:

Gorg Blau i Sa Fosca - 4/4

Na Mora - 3,2/4

Biniaraix - 2,5/4

Il canyon di Sa Fosca merita da solo il viaggio in quanto si tratta  di uno

dei canyon tra i più belli d'Europa; nel suo percorso si deve percorrere

 una lunga parte di oltre 1 ora completamente al buio, il canyon

è talmente profondo che la luce non arriva in fondo !

SVALBARD Island - Spitzbergen

 

 

 

 

Backcountry ski in the Atomfjella mountain range

 

Ideal Period is mid to end of April

 

 

This is a seven day trip in to the most exciting area of the north part of Spitsbergen. The Atomfjella is an area with mountains with hundreds of steep mountainsides and fabulous peaks. Many of them known only from the maps, not yet climbed. Since all mountains in this area are from 1400 to 1700 meters high, most routes on this trip will have a differences in altitude of around max 1000 meters. The first and last day of the trip will be spent on transportation by snowmobile to and from Longyearbyen, approximately 180 kilometres one way. The rest of the time, six days, will be spent exploring this spectacular mountain area, climbing some of the peaks; among them mount Perrier (1717 meters over sea level). We will have a base camp for all the seven nights we spend in big warmed tent, and every day we will do day trips starting off from the camp. To participate in this trip you have to be in very good physical condition, as well as a good skier and you should be experienced in outdoor winter activities. In my opinion one of the most fantastic country on the planet to do backcountry ski with nobody else around.

 

 

My experience

 

I did this trip with clients in 2018. It has been by far my best-in-life ski touring experience. The landscapes, the immensity of the glaciers, the whiteness, the remoteness; an unparalleled mixture of feelings that is still calling me back everyday.

I want to invite you to share this once-in-life experience. I’m committing in organising for you this program, applying some improvements to make the trip as comfortable as possible.

 

The Trip

 

This is the only ski program i offer because i know it's the best experience of this kind.

You can extend the invitation to your friends if they have a good ski-touring experience, the group size is limited to 10-12 persons.

This trip requires a special expertise, you will not find it in the guide’s catalogues !

The local operator is organising it since almost 20 years for a very small number of people.

 

 

Traveling

 

Traveling to Longyearbyen is not like other destinations. Flights are not very frequent. It is advisable to start your travel in advance, and being sure to have all the luggage and gear ready.

Longyearbyen is a very special town where most of the polar expeditions are starting, people live there all year.

 

 

The Camp

 

The camp is set with big tents heated with a stove; inside you can stand up, they fit easily 4 persons.

 Down Polar sleeping bags arerecommended. You may bring along a silk or lycra lining for the down bag.

The sun is up 24 hours a day.

There will be a toilet, made like an igloo, outside the camp.

Wet wipes may be used for personal cleaning, no showers are available.

 

 

Driving snowmobiles

 

To reach the camp and back at the end of the trip we will use this facility.

You have to carry your driving licence for motorbike or auto. Each snowmobile can fit 1 or 2 persons.

 

The Gear

 

We will ski with the normal Alpine winter ski outfit: for the legs underwear and a windproof shell (very rarely

double underwear). For upper body various layers up to the shell jacket.

The temperatures are always under zero. It can happened that in some tours, in protected bowls,

you end up walking in t-shirt, but on the summit you will feel again some cold and wind.

There is very limited ski rental in Longyearbyen. It’s better you carry or send your personal ski gear: boots, skis, skins, poles and ski-crampons. We will also need boot-crampons (light ones), ice axe and a light harness.

Personal safety gear: shovel, probe, transceiver.

I can organise some gear for you if needed.

 

Telephone

 

There is no phone connection at the camp. During the tours, in proximity to the summits, there is cellphone network.

Roaming is free in Svalbard.

If you have special requirements for communication plan to rent a satellite phone.

 

The Polar Bears

 

They are around 3.000 in the region. They are very very rarely seen inside the island, there is no food for them, they hunt on the frozen sea and the coast.

There will be a guard duty organised at the camp, each guest is usually doing a 1,30 h shift during the sleeping time.

 

 

 

How to book

 

I will need minimum 5-6 persons.

You will receive an invoice for a deposit of 25% in NOK.

The remaining balance will be paid, with a second invoice, 4-5 weeks before the trip start.
