Climbing and crags in Arco
Climbers know
Arco. And this not only because of the many low priced shops which sell climbing equipment, but naturally because of the
biggest number of climbing gardens in whole Italy reachable in a few footsteps.
You should only enter climbing gardens with the right equipment. Who climbs need climbing harness, helmet and climbing shoes. Everyone should be familiar with security techniques, otherwise please contact mountain guides.
