Pasquale Iannetti, Alpine Guide and founder of Teknoalp, has a clear philosophy about climbing: “It is one of the most complete sports you can do.
Practicing on a crag is the most effective and safest way to gain control over your body and build confidence in your own strength, but above all, it allows you to become familiar with verticality, the void, and heights.”
The association brings together enthusiasts of paragliding, hang gliding, and model aircraft flying. Flying activities are only allowed for those who possess a valid pilot license, liability insurance, and certified equipment.
