Val
Nimbalto is dominated by the Rocca Dell' Aia
crag, located at the foot of Monte Carmo. This bolted
limestone crag offers a good number of easier multi-pitch
routes up to 90m long.
Val Varatella is dominated by the
Valle del Vero area, which is positioned behind the
caves of Toirano. This area is split into 12 different
crags offering bolted sports routes on grey and red
limestone rock. Many of the crags face southwest and
are therefore ideal for climbing from autumn through
the winter into the spring. The majority of the routes
are in the 6th grade and and are single pitch, though
there are some multi-pitch routes up to 200m long.
Val Pennavaire. At a height of almost
1,400m the 28 separate crags of the Pennavaire valley
run from Cisano sul Neva in the east past Alto and onto
Caprauna in the west. The limestone and climbing style
changes from crag to crag, therefore offers something
for everyone, from slabs, vertical walls with crimps,
to big overhangs with tufas and a bouldering area. There
are over 700 sports routes here, which are mainly single
pitch though there are some multi-pitch routes. With
regards to accommodation, bars and food the main climbers
centre revolves around the village of Cisano
sul Neva.
Valle Argentina, is made
up of 3 separate sports crags, with the largest being
Rocce di Loreto, near Triora. This is also close to
where the largest bouldering area is, called Massi di
Loreto with over 270 problems identified across a wide
range of grades. |
