💼 What the programme involves
The work, at the entrance of the Pozzetto Gallery in the underground, consists of the construction of a descending ramp to allow the construction of pathway (walls) and of prolonging the stairs created last year of 12 supplementary steps. The materials –sand and limestone- are delivered by helicopter.

🎒 Leisure activities
The recreational program will be centered around the exploration of archeological sites (Merveille and Fontanalbe Valleys) and of the Mecantour national park. Sports activities such as accrobranche, hiking, climbing will be proposed as well as outings on bus to discover the valleys and the littoral. Activities are agreed upon and organized collectively. The technical supervisor of the project will familiarise you with the construction techniques and “savoir-faire” of today and the respect for heritage. He will accompany you in discovering the heritage richness of La Brigue et Saorge, villages that have earned the label of “Country of Art and History”. Two entire weekends as well as a day during every week will be dedicated to exploratory activities outside of the project site.
