Let's Enjoy the Wonders of the Mountains Together
Do you want to go hiking in the Pacific Northwest with those interested in Italian culture? Or travel to Italy to hike and stay at rifugi? If so, consider joining our group - the only Club Alpino Italiano (CAI ) subsection outside Italy!
Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), Italian Hiking Club, Pacific Northwest Subsection of Pisa, is an organization dedicated to promoting the knowledge, study, protection and enjoyment of the mountains, the natural environment and cultures, especially of the Pacific Northwest and Italy.
