Occitan experiences
Occitan Experiences are a project supported by
The Occitan Experiences are a proposal dedicated to mountain lovers who wish to visit it consciously and with respect for the places crossed, a story in two stories that will take shape in Valle Maira. Two stories that will become two video documentaries, distributed in Italy and internationally.
The protagonists of the Occitan Experiences will be men and women who decide to get involved to experience authentic and truly sustainable journeys. Challenging experiences from a sporting point of view, but above all an opportunity to explore the mountains with respect and “by fair means” from an environmental point of view.
