FEDERATIONS OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY AND NAVARRE
Friday December 6 – 19:30 Euskalduna - Auditorio
The 2024 WOP Mendi Film Award will be awarded to the mountain federations of the Basque Country and Navarre. It has been done so in recognition of their historical contribution to mountaineering and mountain values, coinciding with the celebration of the centenary of their founding.
Promoted and championed by the mountain associations of Alava, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Navarre, the Basque-Navarre Mountaineering Federation was created on May 18th 1924 in Elgeta. Nowadays, the Basque Mountaineering Federation (Basque Autonomous Community) and the Navarre Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing Sports collaborate through a permanent body called the Basque-Navarre Union of Mountaineering Sports (UVADEMO).
