Pizzo Forcella Rock Climbing

Another stellar climbing area on the Nufenen pass, providing a somewhat more isolated, alpine ambiance than those closer to the Piansecco hut.

The rock is raw granite of generally good quality. On account of its exposure (west/southwest), position and altitude (2560 meters above sea level), Forcella can be rather cool, as the white stuff at its base testifies.

There is a limited itinerary of routes ascending the 300 meter wall.

This is a good place to go to get away from the crowds.

Accommodation can be found at the nearby Piansecco hut, or (sparsely) in the Bedrettotal valley.

More information and topos can be found in the SAC Ticino guidebook or the Keep Wild guidebook.

There are both bolted and trad routes here, although the trad routes cross and / or share anchors with the others.
