Marmitte dei Giganti
climbing Park .Marmitte dei Giganti natural Parc is a lovely area closed to Chiavenna and it is not only appreciated for its carved rocks due to the glacial erosion, but also for other works made by human hands around XVI century when they used to dig the rocks obtaining a special stone. For these reasons it is a respectful area though here the climber has always carried on his own activity, and this continues enthusiastically by the recent years. In addiction to the known Poiatengo, Uschione and Valcondria rocks you can now climb into many others places though, in some of them, considering we are inside the Park, we decided to use no bolts. You can climb trad style or better you may choose to top rope some of this beautyful lines. Bouldering is quite recommended too and, last but not least, we found nice places with climbing routes suitable for children or beginners. Whatever you are looking for, it is a good reason to enjoy the beauty of Marmitte Natural Park. |
