The

Fans de Sport are therefore proud to offer again the opportunity
to propose, discover and try any new kind of fun in the

Plateau Rosà (3500 m), between the glaciers or in
the heart of the green Breuil valleys. You'll have the opportunity

sport, or to join many lovers of the other exciting traditional
activities.
Since over three centuries
Aosta Valley is witnessing the birth of the most innovating
mountain fun disciplines and is offering matchless hospitality
to those who make the full safety challenges their own vocation.
40 exihibitors of sport material

area of the fair, divised in 2 pavillions and 5 topic areas.
During three days they introduced 26 disciplines, even allowing
the visitors to try four brand new disciplines: skimbat,
speed tennis, crevasse descent, high altitude camp.
