The idea for this guidebook comes from the wish to promote the so called “minor” areas of Valtellina and Val Chiavenna, often neglected due to the great popularity of Val Masino. It’s aim is to offer a valid alternative to climbers interested in new experiences. The areas listed are often scattered around the upper Val Chiavenna area up to Bormio and Val di Dentro, including the thriving Val Malenco and Val Gerola, excluding Val Masino and Val di Mello, with the addition of a thorough collection of all the small areas, often only known exclusively to the local climbers. One of the best things about Valtellina and its territory is the great variety of its rock, granite, serpentine, verrucano and limestone, as well as the beauty of the areas in which the boulders lie, often immersed in multicoloured broadleaved cool woods up to over 2000 metres of altitude. The best periods for bouldering often coincide with autumn and winter, except for the Upper Valtellina area and the rifugio Zoia possible to visit even during summer due to its high altitude. 496 pages language german / english / italian edition 2020 A.

This is the new edition of the historic guide book “Valtellina, Valchiavenna and Engadina”, due to the enormous quantity of material, we have felt the need to divide it into two distinct parts, this operation was facilitated by the clear-cut geographical nature of the territory. This is how the volume was conceived, which after two years follows the Valchiavenna guide book, which has already become a best seller. Guido Lisignoli, after four editions, handed the job over to two youngsters: Simone Manzi who wrote the book in 2018, and Camilla Cerretti who wrote this new volume. The river Adda runs down the entire Valtellina, and divides two mountain groups which are very different one from the other: the Western Rhaetian Alps and the Bergamo Alps. Thanks to this orographic abundance and to the length of the valley, a few kilometres away we find different types of rock: the Val Masino granite, the limestone of the upper Valley and the gneiss and schist of the lower and medium Valley, the serpentine of Val Malenco and the verrucano of Val Gerola. We are in a territory covered in rock which still needs to be discovered: near a well known structure known internationally as Sasso Remenno or lo Zoia in Val Malenco, there are many rock faces which are not well known or have never been taken into consideration, where new lines are continually being set up. There are many local climbers who have improved the territory making the crags safe and developing new sectors, and Simone Pedeferri is without a doubt one of the most active. Finally a valley offering a wide range of areas and routes, to be chosen according to the weather forecast, to technical difficulties, to the mental effort required, to the motivation to walk and to the type of climbing. This is the guide book which becomes a bit like a recipe book for our holidays, where we choose a dish depending on the ingredients we wish to use, to guarantee an experience coinciding with our needs. 416 pages language german edition 2021 C.

VALTELLINA ROCK Pareti includes all the routes that can be climbed in one day, both sport and trad ones, leaving out mountaineering itineraries and those requiring a night stay in huts or bivouacs. Some of the routes can be climbed all year round, even though only a small part of them is suitable for the winter season.366 pagesLanguage GermanEdition 2023Federico Bagarin, Alessandro CodecàVersante Sud
