About Ponte Brolla

The most famous single-pitch and multi-pitch sport venue in Ticino — an impressive gneiss dome above the Maggia river at the confluence with the Melezza gorge, ~250m altitude. Rock is white, water-polished granitic gneiss on south-facing walls at valley level; the Sperone sector is a pair of 400m twin pillars offering slab climbing on gneiss with 1-12 pitch routes (west-facing, late morning to late afternoon sun). Winter-friendly thanks to the low altitude and southern aspect — the standard cold-weather Ticino option.

Region: Ticino — Sport
Rock type: Gneiss
Aspect: south-facing
Altitude: 260m
Exposure: medium
Seepage: low
