General information (Back to map Piemonte)
2015 a guidebook for some areas in the valley was published: "Bouldering in Valle Gesso, Vallone di San Giacomo"
If you should plan a longer stay in Valle Gesse and surrounding, you will find many more areas, some of them in high altitude with a long access.
Information to many bouldering areas can also be found on an interactive map of the region around Cuneo.
Boulder problems
About 80 boulder problems 3 - 7c+ and a beautiful project (or maybe done
meanwhile?)
Beautiful granite boulders on the pasture close to the road. |
On the other side of the creek are also some worthwhile problems. |
The last boulder of the area is one of the best with many easier Problems and some good traverses. |
What a beautiful line! |
Cranking till dawn, the quality of the granite is similar to that in Buttermilks but of a finer grain. |

Boulder problems
About 100 boulder problems 3 - ~7c in 2 sectors
A huge talus and only a few boulders cleaned in the lower parts! |
Interesting walls on the left side.... |
... and powerful overhangs on the right - definitely one of the most interesting boulders of the area |
