After a
very successful previous hiking
conference, we're again
organizing a walking theoretical physics workshop.
Starting from the beautiful (and little known) Champorcher valley, we
will cross over into the Parco Nazionale
Gran Paradiso, aptly named "Big Paradise National Park" (it is
big, and it is indeed super gorgeous). We will be discussing physics
while walking and while lounging in beautiful and secluded mountain
huts. The local expenses will be covered by the
sponsor Algorithmiq.
Expect to WALK (3-5 hours per day with 600-1000m
elevation gain). No previous hiking experience is required, but an
average level of fitness will be necessary. Also spirit of adaptation
is a must: we will be sleeping in shared accommodations in secluded
mountain huts (except for a night in the beautiful village of
Cogne).
A list of suggested gear can be found here. Participants must be willing to
challenge themselves physically and mentally!
The organizers:
Sabrina Maniscalco, Lorenzo Maccone, Paola Verrucchi, Paolo
Zanardi.
