Lo Sprofondo

A high-level sport climbing area located in Valbrona, near the hamlet of Candalino. The sector offers around 30 routes, from mid grades up to 9a. Climbing is physical and sustained on slightly overhanging walls, with long pitches of 20–25 m.

🪨 Rock quality is very variable, ranging from excellent limestone to more fragile sections. Some routes have friable starts and still require cleaning and consolidation. Caution is essential as holds or footholds may break.
⛑️ Helmet is strongly recommended for belayers.

🌸🍂 Best conditions are in spring and autumn, and also in summer afternoons. The crag can remain humid and often stays wet for long periods after rain.

🥾 Approach approx. 20 minutes.

The sector was originally developed and equipped by Aldo Rovelli and Daniele Puerari. In recent years, the area has been expanded and further developed by Stefano Bianchi, Marco Brambilla, Adriano Carnati, and Francesco Ferrari, who contributed to new routes and ongoing maintenance.
