Multipitch routes are nothing more than a climbing over 40 meters high. It is therefore necessary to do them with more pitches, in order to reach the top. Bormio offers a good choice of routes of this type, especially sport routes, with anchors already set up on the wall.
In about 1 hour and a half by car you can reach Val Masino, one of the most famous place in Italy where climb on adventure terrain (without anchors set up on the wall).
Some proposals of multipitch routes:
- Pizzo Badile
- Pizzo Cengalo – Vinci Spur
- Punta Allievi – Gervasutti Spur
- Val di Mello
- Sasso dei Contrabbandieri
- Cancano
We are also available for multipitch climbs on Mont Blanc, Dolomites, Grigne, Gran Sasso, Arco di Trento, Sardinia, Liguria, France, Switzerland and Morocco.

Mountaineering
Bormio Mountains are in the heart of the Alps and in the Stelvio National Park. The absence of 4000m peaks makes the area not so famous for mountaineering, but for this reason it is possible to practice a true mountaineering, made of adventure and discovery.
Discovering our Mountains guided by a professionist is a great and unforgettable experience, deep in a nature that will amaze you.
We will be honored to share real adventures with those who will be tied to our rope.
