What you'll do

Join us for an adventure in Val di Mello, where climbing goes beyond single-pitch routes. Embrace the challenge of scaling granite walls in "La Valle," a paradise of pristine granite, clear rivers, and breathtaking nature. Since the 1970s, climbers have transformed this valley into a premier destination. Improve your trad and multi-pitch skills in Val di Mello and Valmasino, with countless boulders, crags, and multi-pitch routes to explore. Whether new to trad climbing or looking to master it, this trip is for you!


Itinerary

Our local mountain guide will meet you at San Martino in Valmasino, meeting point at the b&b. Join us for a welcome dinner to get to know each other and plan the upcoming days. We recommend arriving by 6 PM to enjoy our welcome dinner.
Let's dive into the world of trad climbing! We'll start with an explanation and demonstration of trad gear and placement. You'll practice gear placement with your feet on the ground, followed by top rope climbing, and maybe even your first lead climb while placing gear.
Get ready to enhance your skills with more climbing, focusing on cams and nuts placement. We'll introduce you to the basics of aid climbing and anchor building, including belay station setups.
Experience climbing beyond single pitches with our multipitch progression on easy terrain. We'll also cover rappelling and crack climbing techniques to prepare you for more challenging routes.
Explore the magic of Val di Mello's multipitch trad routes. Spend the day climbing, belaying, and repeating the process to master the techniques learned during the course.
After an exciting and challenging week, your skin and muscles might need some rest. We'll part with a cheerful "See you soon!" after breakfast.
