CRESCIANO BOULDER
+ OSOGNA + CLARO + PREONZO + PROSITO + LODRINO + BIASCA + MALVAGLIA
21 years have gone by since we embarked on the exhilarating adventure of publishing the first guide to the boulders of Cresciano as part of the "TicinoBoulder" chain. These 21 years are no more than the blink of an eye, an insignificant time lapse, when compared to the geological ages and the history of the boulders spread throughout the slopes of the Ticino mountains.
The new guidebook has grown thanks to the efforts of other climbing friends (locals and from elsewhere) who have discovered and developed new sites. Today we can unveil other very interesting bouldering areas, little jewels so far unknown to most. Preonzo, Prosito, Lodrino, Biasca and Malvaglia have been added to the well-known historic sites of the area. These areas are appealing for everyone (including families), there are lines of all grades and for all tastes.

CHIRONICO BOULDER
+ Chironico + ALTIROLO + SOBRIO . UPDATE EDITION
Timeless Ticino. It was only 12 years ago I walked up to a waterfall that always intrigued me above Biasca, where the Ri della Froda falls from the Cima di Biasca down a gargantuan face. I remember the first time I came to Ticino, entering the valley from Gottardo, I was awe inspired by this water falling thousands of feet down a mountain, I had never seen anything like it. That would become a trend.

VERZASCA BOULDER
+ Brione Verzasca + Lavertezzo, New edition 2019
You will be climbing in a beautiful and varied environment. You can climb in pristine forests and in a true maze of boulders located by the spectacular Verzasca river. But beware, the river may be beautiful, it is at least as dangerous. Other bouldering areas are located in scenic meadows in the proximity of typical stone houses of the Verzasca valley. These meadows are still used by farmers for gaining hay. Therefore, access to these sites is restricted in certain times of the year.
The boulders are of compact and perfect gneis, which offers a vast variety of climbing styles ranging from slabs and crimpy face climbs all the way to overhangs. Climbing requires a good technique, but many problems will not go without a fair amount of finger strength.
The best climbing seasons are spring and autumn. Today there are 19 sectors and up to 500 problems! What else?..

GOTTARDO BOULDER
+ GÖSCHENEN + WASSEN . edition 2014
Over recent years The Gotthard Pass has gradually become a favoured rather than an optional summer bouldering area. Its location (boulders at 2000 meters above sea level) makes it particularly pleasant during the hot summer days. The presence of lichens (which never prejudices or disturbs the ascents) gives it the fascination of the more northern lands, completely different from the known areas in Ticino.
Its beauty and the consistent number of problems makes it the third part of the triad of the Swiss Alps, together with Magic Wood and the Susten Pass. Because of this development we have now updated the Guide Book for this interesting and very special place for bouldering, and we hope that it will offer you enjoyable climbing days. Today there are 24 sectors and up to 800 problems!
