Rocciamelone
Rocciamelone ( pms, Ròcia-mlon, french: Rochemelon or ''Roche Melon'') is a 3,538 m high mountain in Piedmont, Italy, near the border between Italy and France. Geography Rocciamelone is located between Val di Susa and Maurienne, 50 km west of Turin. Its summit is the tripoint where the comunes of Usseglio, Novalesa and Mompantero meet. The international border crosses the ''Glacier de Rochemelon'' 1 kilometer north of the summit, making it appear that the border is not following the watershed precisely in this sector. However, the glacier is draped over a ridge that is the true watershed and is precisely followed by the borderline. SOIUSA classification According to the SOIUSA (''International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps'') the mountain can be classified in the following way: * main part = Western Alps * major sector = North Western Alps * section = Graian Alps * subsection = Southern Graian Alps * supergroup = catena Rocciamelone-Charbonnel ...

Lago Di Malciaussia
Lago di Malciaussia is a reservoir situated at an elevation of 1,805 metres in the upper Valle di Viù in the north-west Italian province of Turin. History The reservoir was constructed in the 1920s and 1930s by damming the Stura di Viù, a tributary of the Stura di Lanzo, for the generation of hydropower. It is named after the locality Malciaussia—a ''frazione'' of the commune of Usseglio—which was submerged when it was filled. Hiking The valley road terminates at this lake which makes it a convenient starting point for walking and climbing in the high Alps. From here one can ascend Rocciamelone (3,538 m), via the alpine hut “Ernesto Tazzetti”. The routes to Monte Lera, Punta Costan and Punta Sulè start as well from the lake.

Table Tennis
Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small solid rackets. It takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: Players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce once on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage. Table tennis is governed by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), founded in 1926. ITTF currently includes 226 member associations. The official rules are specified in the ITTF handbook. Table tennis has been an Olympic sport since 1988, with several event ...

Miniature Golf
Miniature golf, also known as minigolf, mini-putt, crazy golf, or putt-putt, is an offshoot of the sport of golf focusing solely on the putting aspect of its parent game. The aim of the game is to score the lowest number of points. It is played on courses consisting of a series of holes (usually a multiple of 9) similar to its parent, but characterized by their short length (usually within 10 yards from tee to cup). The game uses artificial putting surfaces (such as carpet, artificial turf, or concrete), a geometric layout often requiring non-traditional putting lines such as bank shots, and artificial obstacles such as tunnels, tubes, ramps, moving obstacles such as windmills, and walls of concrete, metal, or fiberglass. When miniature golf retains many of these characteristics but without the use of any props or obstacles, it is purely a mini version of its parent game. Nomenclature While the international sports organization World Minigolf Sport Federation (WMF) prefers to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
