Muzzerone is another Italian historic crag, very close to the beautiful city of La Spezia. The crag is characterized by beautiful limestone walls and an amazing view, as all the sectors are just above Tirreno sea. We can assure you that your climbing experience and your photos will be incredible!
Muzzerone has over 280 routes from 4 to 8a, which are generally technical on gray walls full of cracks. There are also some overhanging lines with tufas by sector Polveriera.
The crag is quite aged and some lines do not have the best protections. But do not worry, most of the routes have been recently re-bolted!
Sectors have generally comfortable bases, but their access is not always children friendly.
Atlantide bassa is one of the best sectors of the entire Muzzerone and features two main walls. The first one is a gray technical wall with difficulties around 6c/7b, where we suggest using a helmet. The second is way steeper, with many challenging routes up to 8a. Protections are good but quite spaced. This area is really hot since it is protected from the wind, so the best season for this sector is winter.
Parete centrale is very easy to reach, it is good for children and families thanks to the huge amount of routes of all difficulties. It was the first rock face to be discovered and it is the most frequented and famous. Some routes are a bit polished but still nice, especially during sunny winter days. The walls are not overhanging, but they dry very quickly after the rain.
Cava degli anelli is a small sector on the way to Parete delle meraviglie. It offers few new and short lines equipped with glue-in bolts.
Just after Cava degli anelli you can find Miss sector, a slightly overhanging wall in the shade with powerful starts. The climbing here is good also during the Summer. Pay attention to some aged routes.
Parete delle meraviglie is the second most frequented wall of Muzzerone, due to the nice routes around fifth and sixth grade. The area is quiet and comfortable and there are also some short multi-pitch lines.
Poveriera is located on the right side of Parete delle meraviglie and features a beautiful wall with top quality rock. It serves good climbers who juggle on 6a/6b lines.
As said previously, Muzzerone has also an overhanging sector with athletic lines on tufas and orange rock. It is called Polveriera and it was recently re-bolted. The best period of the year to climb by Poveriera and Polveriera is Winter.
Parete dimenticata has few fingery and overhanging lines and it is located at the base of Pilastro del forte. Pictures taken here are always amazing.
Pilastro del forte has two main faces. Then North is a slab with fairly good equipment. The other face has an alpinistic heart, with some short two-pitch lines. Pay attention to the bolts here.
Cajenna is located inside a delightful natural amphitheater of beautiful rock. The base is a comfortable ledge, not exposed to the wind. The approach is not good for children, all the routes were recently re-bolted.
If you want to spend a beautiful holiday by the sea, Muzzerone can be a really good choice.
You will discover La Spezia and Portovenere, which are part of the most beautiful section of the Ligurian Riviera. This gulf is called “Golfo dei Poeti”, an appellation born from the love that great writers and poets have shown for this land. The steep cliffs, the natural beauty of the thick pine forests, the romantic shores and the picturesque villages perched on the rock will enchants you.
If Golfo dei Poeti and Muzzerone climbing are not enough, continue your travel and enter the incredible scenario of “Cinque Terre”, name of the area grouping the five villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso.
The UNESCO Committee has considered Portovenere and Cinque Terre a World Heritage Site for the extraordinary relationship between the nature treasures and man.
