Looking for Cavers in North East Italy

Postby verticalAndy » Jul 6, 2010 2:53 pm

I'm planning a trip to the North East of Italy (into the Dolomites) and am interested in finding a caving group willing to adopt me for a week or so of underground. I've heard that there are some really beautiful caves in the areas around Trieste (I'm sure the Dolomites must have some caves as well). I have my own SRT equipment but would prefer not to bring my own ropes. If anyone can help me get hooked up with a good group, I'll promise to share my stories and pictures in the future ...

thanks !

There are google maps with any Caving Club in the area and, where is possible, there is the link to the group's internet site.
