You will be climbing in a beautiful and varied environment. You can climb in pristine forests and in a true maze of boulders located by the spectacular Verzasca river. But beware, the river may be beautiful, it is at least as dangerous. Other bouldering areas are located in scenic meadows in the proximity of typical stone houses of the Verzasca valley. These meadows are still used by farmers for gaining hay. Therefore, access to these sites is restricted in certain times of the year.
The boulders are of compact and perfect gneis, which offers a vast variety of climbing styles ranging from slabs and crimpy face climbs all the way to overhangs. Climbing requires a good technique, but many problems will not go without a fair amount of finger strength.
The best climbing seasons are spring and autumn. Today there are 19 sectors and up to 500 problems! What else?..
