Climbing
Sports climbing began on the magnificent walls of Colodri, at Arco Castle,
and then moved onto a park with an 18-metre artificial wall, the climbing
stadium. Thanks to the Rock Master, an international event hosted by the
city of Arco for many years now and among the most famous in Europe, this
sport now has a long tradition in the area. The true reign of free climbing,
however, remains on the natural walls of Garda Trentino: the multicoloured
walls of Massone, the walls of Romarzollo, the zebra-striped walls of
Pietramurata and the routes of Mount Daino (where you can climb practically
all year round).
Equipped routes (Via Ferrata)
Those who do not practice free climbing can, in any case, savour a close
encounter with the mountains by tackling equipped routes. In a land halfway
between mountains and lakes, there is no shortage of routes of any grade,
and almost every one offer a glimpse of the blue water that leave you
breathless. One of the most noted equipped routes of the area starts on
Mount Rocchetta, the mountain dominating Riva del Garda. This route leads to
Cima Sat (Sat Peak). A short distance away is Cima Capi (Capi Peak):
altitude 1300 metres. From here there is a unique view of Garda and the
surrounding mountains; but also Cima Rocca (Rocca Peak) and, further north
after Dro, the walls of Brento.
