The Frasassi Climbing Festival to Raise Awerness of an Environment Patrimony

The Frasassi Climbing Festival was naturally born from a desire to show the beautiful side of the Natural Regional Park of Gola della Rossa and Frasassi. The whole park covers an area of 10.026 hectares of protected land and one of the most interesting things to see among others are undoubtedly the Frasassi Caves with its impressive 240 m high central chamber. But the rest doesn't lack behind, the whole area is a series of towering limestone gorges, perfect for outdoor activities such as climbing or slacking. This year, the festival revolves around three main events, climbing marathon, trail running, and for the very first time, the highline meeting.

The Frasassi Climbing Festival will run from 9th to 13th September in the Natural Regional Park of Gola della Rossa e Frasassi. This area is well-known for its amazing caves and its thermal waters but there is also another side to it, not as well known but just as exciting: the landscape.

The Park seems to have been created so as to offer a multitude of outdoor activities, especially for young people who love climbing, biking, walking on the highline, running across the mountains and of course hiking and trekking. The Frasassi Climbing Festival (FCF) is a meeting open to all those who care about the passion for climbing and the environment in which it takes place - the purpose of the initiative is to raise awareness of the Park, enhancing the sporty side of it.

Rock Climbing will be the main sport of the Frasassi Climbing Festival. There will be a 48 hour marathon and different contests in artificial structures as well. Climbers can have fun in (n°) crags and (n°) routes with various difficulties.

Another big attraction of the event will be the highline, with 2 sectors, 15 lines and an average exposition of 200m: breath holding emotion is guaranteed. One of the highlights of the festival will be the special show of highline walking inside the suggestive Frasassi Caves.
