Bouldering, kayaking and partying at the Misoxperience outdoor festival

Any plans for the driveway? The Misoxperience outdoor festival is in full swing in the idyllic Misox valley in Graubünden. While canoeing was the focus in the first few days, from Thursday everything revolves around bouldering.

Many of you have probably crashed past the Misox several times on your way to Ticino. The Graubünden valley is definitely worth a visit. Even more so if at the same time misoxperience outdoor festival takes place.

Kayaking, bouldering, partying

The outdoor community is meeting for the third time at the Misox outdoor sports festival. The Misox region is an Eldorado for canoeists. The Moesa, for which the region is known, flows from San Bernadino to Bellinzona, where it flows into the Ticino. 

In the bouldering scene, the Misox is not that well known. Wrongly, especially since there are many exciting bouldering problems hidden in the region, especially in the easier levels of difficulty. At the Misoxperience Outdoor Festival starting Thursday, there will be various opportunities to discover precisely these pearls.

Whether as part of the various challenges or during workshops - between the steep mountain flanks of the Mesolcina and in the nearby Calanca Valley there are many fascinating places that are ideal for bouldering and climbing.

Small spoiler: together with the Bimano app and the municipality of Cama, the makers of Misoxperience have opened up a new bouldering area. So it's definitely worth stopping by the festival.
