Tessari area groups a bunch of walls in the nearby small village of Tessari in the Adige valley. There are plenty of options here, thanks to the over 100 routes. Tessari storica, Grattugia classico and Grattugia Nuovo are the most demanding sectors, while the others are really good for first timers and for those who want to get in touch with trad routes and improve skills with quick protection placement.
The approach to the walls is easy on flat ground.
Cà di sopra has few multi-pitches around 4+/5+ difficulties.
Parete rigata is a multi-pitch sector with difficulties from 5 to 6a. The lines are well cleaned, but there are still some sections that require some climbing to become at their best. TO come back to the base there is a evident path.
Grattugia classico and Grattugia Nuovo have more than 50 routes ranging from 6a/b to 7b+. Climbing is generally technical on fingery vertical walls. The rock is nice and really sharp on pockets.
Trapezio sector features a 150 meters high slab with compact gray rock full of big pockets, cracks and jugs. Routes are easy and offer many good options to set up protections and belays. For this reason, the equippers decided to not use too many bolts and kindly ask to not add others. It is the perfect school where it is possible to learn and enjoy the trad techniques.
Tessari storica has a great limestone rock with small pockets and crimps. Climbing is similar to Grattugia sectors and the difficulties go from 5 to 7b.
Roda del canal is another multi-pitch sector, with routes facing slabs, chimneys, traverses and cracks. Routes have good protections and an easy descent (using trail or by rappelling down). It is possible to climb more than one line per day.
Undulna has easier and nice routes on big holds and good rock. It is the perfect spot for first timers and children, due to the difficulties around 4 and 5 grades.
It is possible to climb here during the whole year. We suggest you come here in the morning during winter and in the afternoon during summer.
Please pay attention to not drop rocks below from the multi-pitches, since the village is quite close to the wall. When you get to the top, take the CAI path that goes South direction for more or less 300 meters. Look for a wooden sign “Sentiero naturalistico”. When you get there, leave the path and downhill to the left. After some hairpin bends, you will reach the small village of Tessari.

Grattugia sectors were discovered by Beppo Zanini. Guido Girardini worked hard to set up many lines here. Luca Gelmetti and Walter Piva extended some lines along the overhangs quite recently. There is still potential for an expansion here.
The first route on Parete rigata has been set up during 2014.
Trapezio was discovered and explored by Eugenio Cipriani and friends in 1982. 20 years later, this place had become interesting again, so new routes were cleaned and freed.
Tessari storica was discovered by Sergio Coltri in the 80s, then enlarged by Luca Gelmetti more recently.
Roda del canal is a quite new sector, having many new routes bolted in the last years.
Undulna has born thanks to Eugenio Cipriani, then after 2017 it has been rebolted and maintained by LAAC association and Luca Gelmetti.
