Seasons
Year round, although ideal in late spring and early autumn. Summer may need a stoic approach to the heat. Winter in the higher areas may be too cold.
Centres
Access through most of the main towns of northern Italy including La Spezia, Genoa, Turin, Aosta, Milan, Verona, Venice, and Bologna.
Difficulty
Covers the range of difficulty but includes a good whack of harder routes (40 of E5 and above).
Must See
Italian rock, sunshine, food and wine. And some climbing too.
This guidebook contains information on twelve of the best and most highly developed free-climbing areas in Northern Italy, several of which are making their first guidebook appearance. The Dolomites, with their more alpine nature, have been deliberately excluded, although the long climbs on Arco's Cima Colodri give something of the flavour of dolomitic climbing. The majority of cliffs described here are to be found in the valleys of Piemonte and Lombardia, their proximity to the French and Swiss borders making them ideal destinations for storm-harassed alpinists.
