Arco,
in the northern Italy, 160 km from Bergamo (Milano airport) has a mild
climate and has developed a lot of climbing routes from single pitch to 300
m long in a wide range of grades. 50 areas, 63 crags with 2200 routes and
125 boulder problems are a temptation for climbers from all over the world.
It is a magnificent
area with superb pre-alp scenery. Rock climbing is possible for most of the
year even if the south facing crags can be to hot in the summer. The best
time to climb in Arco is spring and autumn.
The area see up on
rock climbing as a big possibility for income, and a lot of climbing tourism
meets crags where the area surrounding has been prepared with pick-nic tables,
large car parks and signpost, occasionally Topos. Then you understand that
Arco is not the place for nature adventures in the meaning untouched nature.
