Nestled in the limestone mountains of the Castello della Mesuda area in Samugheo, Il Canyon is a captivating climbing sector that offers over 30 routes of varying styles. The canyon's narrow, rugged walls provide diverse challenges, from flat slabs with delicate micro crimps to gently leaning routes peppered with plentiful jugs.
One of the standout features of Il Canyon is its collection of unique, micro tufa routes, where climbers can test their skills on walls sculpted entirely by these fascinating rock formations. The short but interesting climbs here make it a perfect spot for those seeking variety and technical challenges in a compact space.
However, a few considerations should be made before heading out: the area can become uncomfortably hot in the summer, making it best avoided during the warmer months. Additionally, during the spring, ticks are abundant in the area, so proper precautions are recommended. For optimal conditions, plan your visit for the cooler months when the canyon offers its best climbing experience.
