Varese e Canton Ticino

The publishing project focused on Canton Ticino walls comes to a fulfilment with this guidebook reviewing the modern multipitches – including modern, sport and trad climbing.The area, in addition to many interesting crags, features wonderful routes on an excellent granite – one of the best in the Alps.The mild climate and the great variety of Ticino walls are favoured by many climbers coming from all over Europe, especially the nearby regions north of the Alps.This accurate and detailed guidebook has been compiled by the same authors who signed the volume describing the crags of Varese and Canton Ticino. They are both locals, and very active in promoting climbing in this area, where they sent many routes.Thanks to a networking effort with other local climbers they gathered a comprehensive set of up-to-date and detailed topos, including unpublished novelties, thus providing an extra-high accuracy.
The work is enriched by several articles and features, written by the authors themselves, relating their personal experiences on the walls of Ticino and interviews with the main characters of the local climbing community.240 pageslanguage germanedition 2016M.

In this third edition, which is dedicated exclusively to sport climbing, the author of the previous edition, Davide Mazzucchelli, was assisted by Matteo Della Bordella. He is a great connoisseur of the Swiss mountains and author of the book "Climbing in Switzerland", which presents hundreds of multi-pitch routes in the central cantons. The guide, expanded and brought up to date, presents a large selection of climbing crags in Ticino, a region that offers fantastic climbing, not only because of the quality of the routes and crags, but also because of the mild climate, which also attracts climbers from nearby areas in the north of the Alps.A detailed chapter on the climbing crags in the province of Varese completes the guide, in which you can also find stories about the history of climbing and information on the most important personalities in the area.A climbing guide that deals exclusively with multi-pitch routes is in the works.352 pagesLanguage Italian / GermanEdition 2015D.
