For bouldering fans from all over the world, the Canton Ticino area is an inexhaustible treasure and is now a must. Cresciano, Chironico, Passo del Gottardo, Brione Verzasca are certainly the most famous areas, synonymous with quality … but we could also add Val Bavona, Avegno in Valle Maggia or the nearby Val Calanca in the Italian-speaking part of Graubünden.
Additional areas are still being developed and we hope soon to be in a position to present information to our readers.

In any event - we wish you “welcome” in the site ticinoboulder.ch.
