Climbing

for those who want to start up to the absolute maximum

If Valsesia is known worldwide for alpine activities on the Monte Rosa massif, from Gattinara to Alagna there are over 400 routes on numerous crags, offering enthusiasts or those who want to start this activity walls with difficulty levels ranging from the elementary (3) to the absolute maximum. 

Additionally, the indoor climbing gyms in Varallo and Alagna offer a simple and safe way to approach this activity, both independently in the boulder area and under the guidance of professional instructors for the first climbs with a safety rope.

For those attracted by the thrill of vertical climbing, Valsesia offers several via ferrata, which are equipped routes with fixed steel safety ropes, steps, and iron ladders that allow progress on rocky sections that would otherwise require knowledge of climbing techniques. The Falconera ferrata above Varallo, Emilio Detomasi at Cimalegna, and the Pizzo Montevecchio above Carcoforo promise a memorable experience.
