Rock climbing in Finale Ligure

Finale Ligure is one of the most extensive and interesting climbing areas in Europe with thousands of climbing routes. We invite you to join us on this 4-day trip and discover this rock climbing paradise in the Italian Riviera.

In Finale Ligure not only will you enjoy great climbs, but also find unique landscapes, a beautiful sea, charming ancient villages and delicious food.

The climbing area is a limestone plateau which extends between the coast and the mountains. It’s about 10km wide and about 6/7km deep in the hinterland. The plateau is engraved by narrow valleys. Most of the cliffs are located on their sides.

Being close to the sea to the south and shielded by the mountain to the north, the climate is mild and climbing is possible all year round**. Slabs and vertical crags with pockets, holes, drips and notches** are the most common structures, but there are also many overhanging walls and caves.

Rock quality is always exceptional but climbing is challenging, mostly when climbing “on sight”. Our task is to choose the most beautiful and suitable crags for you and to ensure that your climbing holiday in Finale will be an unforgettable experience.

This 4-day program allows you to climb in different spots and to really appreciate this amazing climbing area. It is also a great opportunity to learn and improve your climbing technique and safety while climbing. The climbing activity lasts about 6 hours each day, excluding approach times.

On the first day, we will meet in Finalborgo, one of the three urban centers that form Finale Ligure. After an equipment check, we will transfer to our first climbing venue, in Boragni**,** a 20-minute drive. On the second day, we meet again in Finalborgo and head to Bric Grigio. The climbing spot is in Valle Aquila, a 10-minute drive and a 20-minute walk.

We will climb in Rian Cornei on the third day, and on the last day we will climb in the Grotta dell’Edera/Parete Dimenticata. You can check the day-by-day detailed program below. 

Please note you need a medium fitness level to join this climbing trip. The program is suitable for all levels, from beginners with little or no experience to those who already climb to a medium or high level.

It is also posible to plan in advance a day off to rest, at the request of participants. Finale Ligure offers many alternative relaxing activities to fill the rest day, like beach, an interesting ethnographic museum, the Toirano and Verezzi caves, fantastic medieval villages and wonderful walks.
