Ropes, snap hooks, harness and shoes on your feet to enjoy climbing on the Valsesia rocks. From boulders to crags and indoor gyms, Valsesia meets the demands of all climbers, from the most experienced and courageous to those approaching this discipline for the first time. With a total of more than 400 routes distributed between Lower and High Valsesia, free-climbing<\/mark><\/strong> options in the Valsesia region are countless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via ferrata enthusiasts can, instead, try their hand at the Ferrata Falconera in Varallo or the Ferrata di Cimalegna on Mount Rosa for an amazing experience and breathtaking views of the Valsesia landscape.

CLIMBING IN VALSESIA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Between Borgosesia<\/a> and Quarona<\/a>, do not miss the Laghetto Crag<\/mark><\/strong> with medium difficulty routes and the Gibellino Wall<\/mark><\/strong>, which is ideal for beginners.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you pass the town of Varallo<\/a>, an unmissable stop for climbing enthusiasts is the Boccioleto<\/a><\/mark> area, in the Sermenza Valley, where the Giavine Tower<\/mark><\/strong>, a fascinating and imposing tower of solid gneiss, and the Ronco Crag<\/mark><\/strong> in Fervento, with various difficulty levels, are located. They are ideal also for beginners and novices.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Valsesia features two more gems for free climbing, precisely the Calva Wall<\/mark><\/strong>, perhaps the most imposing and wildest wall in the whole of Valsesia, located not far from the village of Rassa, and the Cuore Crag<\/mark><\/strong> in Mollia<\/a><\/mark> with its athletic and continuous routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alagna<\/a> area is home to the historic training gym for Fun’d’Scotte<\/mark><\/strong> sport climbing.  Valsesia meets the demands of boulder<\/em><\/mark><\/strong> enthusiasts who can train on the Badia boulders in Quarona, the Pietra Grosse<\/mark><\/strong> in Piode<\/a>, or the Massi del Pastore<\/mark><\/strong> at the Pile alpine pasture.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor climbing gyms<\/mark><\/strong> are the perfect solution in cold weather, or for indoor climbing enthusiasts. The area counts the Tullio Vidoni Gym in Varallo and the G. Rolandi Sports Centre in Alagna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    THE CIMALEGNA FERRATA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Climbing towards the Alagna<\/mark><\/strong> area, on the slopes of Mount Rosa<\/mark><\/strong>, you will find the exciting Cimalegna Ferrata<\/mark><\/strong>, a scenic route on a fully equipped rocky ridge that starts from Bocchetta delle Pisse and reaches the Cimalega plateau. This ferrata offers a choice of three routes: BLUE, the equipped ridge trail; RED, the first part of the most challenging ferrata, which can be entirely skipped with the GREEN trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
