Nothing is impossible for those with the courage to go the extra mile to overcome an obstacle, as the participants in the ‘Brenta Open’ show us through their achievements.
Talking about what the ‘Brenta Open’ was and what it meant for me is almost harder than climbing the Castelletto Inferiore. It is tricky to put such full and strongly felt and feelings down on paper, but it is equally exciting to take you with me to these high peaks. Put on your climbing harness, fasten your helmet, tighten your mountain boots, free your minds and listen.
‘Brenta Open’ shows that a disability can be transformed from a limitation into an opportunity.
the projetThe ‘Brenta Open’ began in 2015 when considering an important event to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first ascent of the Tosa. On this occasion, some big-hearted young people accompanied a young autistic boy and his carer on their ascent of Brenta’s second highest peak. Now, year after year, the story of these few has become the conquest of many, and the wonder of the Brenta Dolomites does the rest.
purposeThe ‘Brenta Open’ is a group of people with one very clear goal: to make the Dolomites, which became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2009, accessible to all. Morale and the human qualities and character that are often directly linked to the difficulties we face in life, come to the fore in the natural environment more so than in the man-made environment. Accessing the mountains, irrespective of ability or psycho-physical state, is an exceptional triumph.
