Gep is born, theUnion of Piacenza environmental hiking guideswhich includes the groups of Piacenza guides now active (Walk the Nature, Eva, I Calcaterra, Azimut) and some individual professionals who operate in the area for a total, at the moment, of over 20 guides. “The need to unite – they explain Annalisa Guaraldo And Gianluca Marranghello – was born from the desire to bring together various professionals who already carry out their activities in the outdoor world and who recognize themselves in a series of mandatory principles such as safety, professionalism, continuous training, solidarity and mutual support, the promotion of a sustainable lifestyle and tourism that respects the territories, economic transparency, inclusiveness and respect for diversity”.
Gep’s objective is to be a point of reference for professional guidance in the territory of the province of Piacenza, from the plain to the Apennines, maintaining the individual original identities, enhancing the cultural, environmental and historical realities of the territory. Dissemination activity will always be in the foreground, without forgetting the playful side in a climate of mutual respect and inclusion.
The first event was held at the Gaep “Stoto” refuge in Selva di Ferriere with a day of free excursions to introduce ourselves to the citizens. Over 60 people participated, reaching suggestive places in the Ferrière Apennines.
All excursions will be posted on Gep’s Facebook page.
