Climbing

Once a niche activity, today climbing is a sport that gathers an increasing number of enthusiasts, with an unexpected record for women. When safely practiced, this is a sport that is good for the body, the mind and also the couple’s relationship.

Climbing is a physically demanding sport that does not imply being strong: climbing will actually develop strength because this practice puts all our muscles into play. Climbing gives a feeling of satisfaction and happiness and it is almost more effective than a total body workout in the gym. Between limestone rocks and verdant nature, climbing in Rieti and its province leaves everybody breathless. In fact, there are numerous cliffs dotted with climbing routes that extend from Sabina to the Turano valley, passing through the Salto valley and up to Terminillo.

Climbing in Rieti is definitely another way of experiencing the mountains, an additional opportunity to discover the most beautiful villages of the province. And you can do it in many sites, to be discovered in all seasons, with different degrees of difficulty. In fact, the territory hides cliffs that are real jewels of mainly limestone rock where you can measure yourself in climbing overhanging crags with inclinations for all tastes, from beginners to experts.
