Full description
Experience for yourself the thrill of survival in the woods with your children in a 50-hectare nature park near Alessandria, Piedmont.
Learn with them to ford a stream safely, light a fire with a bow, abseil down a 30-metre wall.
Sleep on a bed made by you from logs and ropes, make a defensive platform in the trees, study a map and create the route to safety together.
You will be guided by national survival instructors and you won't have to think about anything: the necessary technical material and equipment is provided by us.
What we will do
Appointment at 9am with the instructors. We enter the forest to set up the bivouac.
After a 30-minute briefing in which the survival course programme is explained, you begin your descent into the abyss with mountaineering techniques.
You will undertake activities on tree platforms at a height of 8 metres (such as rescue techniques at height), and then try orientation trekking in the forest. You will learn how to make a map, special camouflage and escape techniques.
The experience is rounded off with other important notions including:
- water purification
- fire lighting techniques
- orientation with the stars
