LUMIGNANO ROCK CLIMBING AREA VICENZA

The largest and best developed climbing area in the Vicenza Province is Lumignano, it is located above the town of Lumignano, a small village south of Vicenza and located in the Berici Hills. The numerous cliffs in the valley have been a major climbing destination since the early 1970's. At that time Lumignano offered some of the hardest climbs in Italy with routes such as Orient Express, Atomic Cafe, and Arco d'Ora were top projects, on a lot of climbers tick list. Today with so many sites throughout Europe and the expansion of the difficulty rating Lumignano no longer host the hardest routes, but it is still a destination to be visited. Many individuals are surprised at the stiffness of the grades especially in in the older sectors, Lumignano offers a wide variety of climbs and offers routes for all levels.
