It’s called “Spluga Climbing” and is the new indoor climbing wall constructed in the municipal gym in Campodolcino. An 18 metre vertical - one of the highest indoor - made of reinforced concrete with a coloured finish, which affords the very same sensations as a real rock wall. The facility provides a range of difficulty levels and is suitable for both beginners and the more experienced climber. Indoor climbing is experiencing enormous popularity.
Suitable for all ages, including the little ones, it improves coordination, strength, elasticity and articular mobility, whilst manifesting both physical and mental benefits. It’s enjoyable and has been compared to a normal fitness workout with the addition of play. An Olympic discipline since Tokyo 2020, the sport not only improves concentration and problem solving but also builds self-esteem. For those who are new to the sport, it’s essential to rely on qualified instructors, specially for beginners, in order to learn the correct techniques. Awareness and proper training are essential to practise this sport safely.
DIFFICULTY
The wall is 18 metres high and vast, so much so that it allows access for 15 people at the same time. There are routes of varying degrees of difficulty, reaching up to 7c suitable for the more expert climber.
WHO CAN PRACTISE CLIMBING?
Anybody! If climbers have already reached an advanced level there are no problems. If instead we are talking about novices, the facility offers courses and open-day initiatives to learn how to get moving on the wall.
