Valmasino, a great valley in northern Lombardia is a wonderful natural paradise. A favorite destination of boulderers and rock climbers who love granite rocks and spectacular mountain summits. It’s the birthplace of bouldering in Italy and it’s considered as the “Italian Yosemite” by many. It’s also a lovely place for people who want to relax in a beautiful surrounding and outdoor enthusiasts who prefer an active holiday. Throughout the valley, one can find endless scenic beauty with opportunities for hiking, cycling, bouldering, rock climbing and other outdoor activities.

It is also known for hosting MELLOBLOCCO, the world’s biggest bouldering event held every first week of May where thousands of boulderers and climbers around the world; beginners, amateurs, advanced and even world-known climbers join together to enjoy this sport in a splendid natural surroundings of Val Masino. This year’s event was an all-around success, with 2,600 people who registered and over 4,000 attendees. Behind this event are amazing people who put a lot of effort, hard work and great passion in organizing and promoting this sport. It’s an honor to be a part of such an outstanding event! To share the thrill of the sport and beauty of Val Masino, my husband, Oscar created a video of our trip a couple of years ago. It’s an event we await every year.

WHERE TO STAY

From camping sites, traditional hotels to bed and breakfasts, there are countless wonderful options to choose from in this valley! We usually stay at CAMPING SASSO REMENNO, nestled in the center of Val Masino. It’s run by a wonderful family that we truly adore. Their hospitality is the reason why we come to this place every year. Erminia welcomes the guests with open arms. You can find her at the reception willing to help everyone. Mauro prefers to work around the campsite and he also cooks delicious food for the guests. The family will make sure and will do everything possible to make your stay the best it can be. If you want to go for a hike and eat good food, we recommend RIFUGIO LUNA NASCENTE. Try tradional dishes in this region. Pizzocherri, a pasta, made with buckwheat flour and wheat flour cooked with green, cabbage and cubed potatoes dressed with garlic and sage that are lightly fried in butter together. Bresaola, a delicious cold cut from northern Italy and frequently served sliced paper thin on a bed of arugola with flakes of Parmesan cheese and seasoned with ground black pepper and extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
