It will also be organized, on October 8, the Occitan Walk of the MOT, a non-competitive walk in company to experience the most picturesque villages of Marmora, animated by old wood-burning ovens put into operation for the occasion to offer hikers bread, freshly baked pizzas and focaccias. An opportunity for those who want to discover the territory in slowness, for families and for all those who love to walk in the mountains but also enjoy the good food of tradition.
Finally, through the collaboration with local realities that operate on the environmental theme, we will raise awareness, with pre-event training sessions and during the same, participants and companions to the delicate needs of the mountain ecosystem to be able to appreciate at best and consciously all the most relevant aspects that shape its fragile balance. In the program, the realization of a day of plogging where participants (adults and children) during the walk will dedicate themselves to collect any waste abandoned along the way.
