Top bouldering picks for March
Cresciano
Low-lying Ticino gneiss with almost no off-season — one of the few places in Europe that climbs well through winter and early spring.
See the month-by-month weather data →
Chironico
Higher and snowier than neighbouring Cresciano, so it comes into its own from March through October, with a summer peak in July.

Albarracín
A winter and shoulder-season classic. Mornings are cold, but winter sun on south-facing sectors like Sol y Sombra warms the sandstone quickly.
