From the travel diary of the departure from Fontanetta, Piedmont:

"The key turning in the lock of our front door marks the start of our journey; the ascent through Val di Viù, our valley for several years now, is a moment of farewell to a familiar landscape. We are excited by this departure; an adventure we expect will be unforgettable. We have no set path, no expectations, no convictions to disprove or confirm.

Modern explorers in a world where it seems there is nothing left to explore, except ourselves."
