Bouldering

Three outdoor boulder parks above Mori village, in the Lavini di marco area and near the Piccole Dolomiti on Campogrosso Alp, to combine the passion for sport with the most beautiful landscapes of Vallarsa and Vallagarina

Montalbano Boulder Park (Mori)

A great number of huge rocks scattered at the bottom of the famous Montalbano via ferrata (one of the most challenging fixed rope route in the entire Alpine area), with easy/medium itineraries for beginners and difficult/extreme itineraries for adventurers.

Masses and blocks offer more than 150 climbing opportunities among routes and splits and boulder passages. They are suitable for brief enduring sprints on solid rock. The area is divided into 7 sections including 32 routes, whose grading difficulty ranges from 5c to 8a+.

An ideal place for families with warm-up equipment and benches to relax or make a pic-nic. Here silence and peace are interrupted only by the tolls of the Sanctuary.

How to reach the park

Starting from Rovereto, follow the SS240 in the directions to Mori. At the beginning of the village, after passing the football field on the left, turn right to Largo Villanuova and F. Tranquillini Street in the directions to Mirabella Street. After parking the car, continue on foot on the dirt road leading up to Montalbano Sanctuary (15 minutes) until reaching the park.

Dantesque Boulder Park (Rovereto)

We are in the Lavini di Marco area, a stone’s throw away from the so-called “ruina dantesca”, the great landslide that Dante mentioned in the Divine Comedy (XII Canto Inferno, vv. 4-9).

In this area of more than 35 hectares, rocks detached from the side of Mount Zugna and fell to the valley, diverting the course of the Adige River in prehistoric times. in this wild corner of Trentino, you can also admire true dinosaur footprints.

The Dantesque Boulder Park combines history, geography, literature and the outdoors: a route between Hell, Purgatory and Paradise that will give you a unique adventure! The boulders are identified as follows, following the altimetry criterion: the lowest are those of Hell, going up you reach those of Purgatory and, finally, those of Paradise (respecting also the order of the Canti). Where possible, the characteristics of the boulders match a passage of the Comedy.

Difficulty: from 5+ to  7C
