Ticino is the flagship of Swiss bouldering and one of the most beautiful bouldering areas in the world. Eliot Stephens offers bouldering enthusiasts a brand-new guidebook, "Swiss Select – Ticino's Best Bouldering," providing an overview of the three main areas: Brione, Cresciano, and Chironico. 

The Val Daone is one of the largest side valleys in Trentino and has been an international hotspot since the first edition of the bouldering guide Daone Boulder. Spread over 14 kilometers in length and 700 meters in altitude, the area offers ten sectors with over 1800 lines in compact granite or verrucano rock.

The Val Masino has a huge selection of boulders. The fact that the world-famous and legendary bouldering event Melloblocco has been taking place here for almost 20 years speaks for the fantastic quality of the boulders. And since new lines are cleaned and opened up year after year, the Guidebook also grows from edition to edition.
