Next Sunday 25 August, the 73rd FEDME CAMP will begin, which this year will take place in Val d’Aran. During one week, more than 250 participants coming from all over Spain will be able to enjoy 20 hiking routes and ascents to the most emblematic areas of the Valley, accompanied by a team of mountain guides.
Montardo, Ratera, Lagos de Colomers, Artiga de Lin, Montcorbison and Beret will be some of the routes. An astronomical observation is also planned every night in the 1500 car park in Baqueira. For the youngest, a children’s camp has been organised, directed by specialised monitors, where they will take part in all kinds of nature and sports activities adapted to their age. On Saturday 31 will be held a popular march through the villages of Naut Aran, which will end with a meal in Salardú as the end of the camp.
The center of activities will be located in Salardú and in the afternoons in the sports center will take place a program of Conferences and Projections on security by FEDME. Likewise, the geologist and nivologist Jordi Gavaldà, will lecture on winter safety and avalanches. The new artisan beer factory of Val d’Aran, REFU, will offer a tasting of beers, and we will enjoy a conference and projection of the Pou brothers on their latest national and American land climbs.
The Camp is organised by FEDME, the Club Alpí Aranès and the company Guías de Camins. It is sponsored by the Conselh Generau d’Aran, Foment de Torisme Val d’Aran and the Ajuntament de Naut Aran, and has the collaboration of the Ajuntament de Vielha, Baqueira-Beret, REFU, Taüll Organics and other entities and companies of the Val d’Aran.
