Rock Climbing

The main rock climbing and sports climbing areas are in northern Italy, although there are still options in the south of the country, such as in Potenza. The Dolomites in the north have a choice of fantastic multi-pitch routes, some stretching up for 800 metres. Mixed in are an abundance of classic routes at all grades, many of which can be reached after a short walk from the road.

The annual Mello Blocco festival takes place in Val de Mello, northern Italy. This is a world-class bouldering area where a wide range of disciplines can be practiced on the granite, gneiss and limestone rock.

Sardinia is an oasis of rock climbing too, with many tempting crags across the island. Limestone sports routes, long multi-pitch routes and even bouldering on beautiful granite rock are all here to be enjoyed.
