Paralympic Mountains Celebrate
Mar 17 2006
On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 March the last competitions of the IX Paralympic Winter Games will take place.
The events will be accompanied by events free and open to the public organised by the Comune di Sestriere, to transform once again the Paralympic Winter Games in a fantastic celebration. On Saturday, March 18, the Sbandieratori del Comitato Palio Montechiaro d’Asti will perform first in Borgata, between the first and second heats, and then will animate the streets of Sestriere starting from 16.00. In the afternoon children can meet clowns and artists in the central Piazza Fraiteve.
From 14.00 to 18.00, both Saturday and Sunday, “focaccine Faizen” filled with “filetto Baciato” will be offered by Proloco di Battagliosi, Provincia di Alessandria. In Sestriere also during the weekend it will be possible to see free of charge the exhibition of Russian icons “l’altezza della fede”(the height of faith) at the ATL in Via Louset and the photographic exhibition “Immaginiinvalle” on show at the Palazzo Comunale in Sestriere.
