Rocca di Perti

Limestone crag above Feglino with hundreds of bolted sport-climbing routes and a panoramic summit cross

Rocca di Perti is a long limestone ridge that rises behind Feglino, the principal climbing wall of the Finalese and one of the busiest crags in Italy. A summit cross marks the high point at about 480 metres, reached by a marked path in roughly an hour from the village — a fine walk in its own right, with views across the Riviera and inland to the Alps on a clear day.

For climbers it is a sport-climbing playground: hundreds of bolted single-pitch routes from easy slabs to overhanging hard lines, all on grippy grey and orange limestone. Spring and autumn are the seasons; summer is too hot on the south-facing sectors. The cliffs are owned by the comune and access is free.

A story
Finale Ligure became a sport-climbing hub in the 1980s when Italian pioneers Andrea Gallo and friends bolted the first routes on these crags; today there are over 3,000 routes in the Finalese, and Rocca di Perti is one of the most popular sectors.
