Valle Gesso

Bouldering in Valle Gesso

Valle Gesso, nestled in the Maritime Alps, is a premier alpine bouldering destination in Italy. This area offers high-quality granite boulders with a mix of technical and powerful climbing, often on overhangs, crimps, and slopers. Divided into two main sections, the lower area boasts over 100 problems, while the upper sector provides additional challenges at higher elevation. The pristine mountain landscape and the commitment of local climbers to preserve the natural surroundings make this a unique and rewarding spot.

The best season to visit Valle Gesso is autumn, when the crisp temperatures enhance friction on the rock and the stable weather ensures ideal climbing conditions. While summer is possible, the alpine setting means quick weather changes, requiring climbers to be prepared. Due to its location in the Maritime Alps Nature Park, climbers must respect conservation rules to help maintain this exceptional bouldering destination.
