The Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Su e Giù", always making use of competent and qualified personnel, organizes hiking activities of high cultural and naturalistic value, such as:

• caving
• canyoning
• orienteering
• trekking
• excursions with snowshoes
• photonaturalistic

and, in general, any activity that is identified as interesting from an environmental, sporting or historical point of view.

If you want to know more and join the group, you can contact the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" using the form. We will be happy to answer you as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you!

To experience exciting canyoning experiences, contact the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Canyoning .

This activity is particularly beautiful from an environmental and naturalistic point of view, as it takes place in the canyons or gorges that create the rivers in the mountains. It is a relatively young sport and was born from the union of progression techniques typical of speleology and mountaineering. Since most of the path you face is in the stream, the use of a wetsuit is necessary. This discipline allows you to visit places that are not yet man-made and therefore allows us to experience nature and see it from a completely new point of view for today.

The exits are prepared with the utmost respect for safety standards and will certainly prove to be an unforgettable adventure for all participants.

The Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Canyoning is at your disposal for any further detail or clarification. We look forward to seeing you!

In the company of the members of the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Ciaspole you can take part in beautiful walks on the snow in the most beautiful places in Italy.

Walking on fresh snow with snowshoes is always a relaxing and very healthy experience for the body and mind.

The excursions with snowshoes are carried out in the winter period as this activity is nothing more than a trekking but in snow conditions, so with the use of snowshoes trails are covered in safe mountain areas and with undisputed charm.

Throw yourself into a wonderful experience in the company of the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Ciaspole .

For more information send us your inquiry and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Trekking on foot organized by the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Trekking are experiences of high cultural and naturalistic value, as well as healthy activities that help keep fit and download daily stress.

This sporting practice in recent years has become increasingly widespread and has been the greatest attraction for bringing people closer to the mountain environment given its simplicity of execution.

Central Italy offers a good network of paths, especially in the parks that were the first to create paths with tourist accessibility, logically the leader in this sector is Abruzzo but in recent years the development has always been progressive and also the Lazio has considerably expanded its path network.

Another great reality in the development of Trekking in the hilly and lowland areas was the rediscovery of the Pilgrimage Routes and the historical roads of which our beautiful country is rich. Our Association has been offering itineraries on the Via Francigena since the Holy Year and collaborates with the European Association of Municipalities on the Via Francigena and with the Confraternity of the Romei of the Via Francigena for the dissemination of this historical and religious itinerary.

Trekking does not require specific preparation, at least to attend easy trails, but the dangers of the mountain should never be underestimated so our advice is always not to venture alone but to join groups of Associations that do activities of this type or Guides.

Our Association makes use of Hiking Guides but in addition to that organizes courses to approach hiking precisely to better train people who want to approach this sport.

In the company of the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Speleology you can live unique experiences by visiting sites of great naturalistic and historical value around Italy.

In the company of competent guides you can try your hand at engaging adventures of Urban Speleology, a sporting activity not really called since it is a mix of sport, environment and culture.

Since the birth of this discipline we have been protagonists, first individually as individual speleologists and with other associations then with our association of exploration campaigns in the city of Rome and in the Municipalities of Tivoli, Nemi, Nettuno, Anzio, Viterbo, Blera, Formello, Ischia di Castro etc…

The term speleology derives from the Greek word Speleion = Cave and Logo = Science science that studies caves so urban speleology is the science that studies artificial cavities.

In the courses of approach to this activity, the sporting aspects are taken care of that allow progression in the cave through the use of ropes and equipment for descent and ascent, the environmental aspects that help to recognize the morphology of the places where these are located cavities and the historical-archaeological aspects that allow us to study the artificial cavities where we will do our exploration activity.

Example:

• Cave
• Mines
• Catacombs
• Aqueducts
• Necropolis
• Domus
• Insule
• Temples
• Basilicas
• Holes

Of course, all this always takes place with the help of the studies of archaeologists or archaeological associations. But more and more often it is precisely to develop their superficial work that the need arises to use an association that does urban speleology, expanding the work with underground checks, video or photographic recordings allows you to enrich the scientific publications that will be made on the exploratory campaign.

The excursions of the Association of Sport, Environment and Nature "Up and Down" Speleology do not require a high degree of experience and are organized in harmony with the age and training of the participants. Do not hesitate to contact us to find out more.
