About Brione Verzasca

The Val Verzasca bouldering venue — around 550 boulders across 19 sectors strung along the river and in the meadows and forest around Brione, plus the neighbouring Lavertezzo and Sonogno areas. A formal bouldering access agreement is now in place — respect the marked areas and pad-line rules. Some boulders that sit in shallow hollows (e.g. Real Pamplemousse) hold condensation and dry more slowly than the open ones — worth checking before you drive.
