The
sea cliffs of Muzzerone are made up
of 18 separate limestone crags, which have recently
been re-bolted. The routes are both single pitch and
multi-pitch routes up to 270m long. However most of
the multi-pitch routes are 2 or 3 pitches long. The
style of climbing ranges from slabs, vertical walls
to overhanging routes across a wide range of climbing
grades. The Muzzerone area has always been popular due
to its dramatic landscape, the presence of the sea,
and easy access to some fantastic sea cliff rock climbing.
The other rock climbing areas dotted along the coast
between Sestri Lavante and La Spezia are also on bolted
limestone rock, with the vast majority of the routes
being single pitch.
Muzzerone Logistics
The rock climbing around Muzzerone is easily reached

airport, where hire cars can be collected
from. Fast roads quickly lead to La Spezia, and the
climbing is reached via the village of Le Grazie, down
narrow twisty lanes. There is a limited amount of accommodation
