Hi!
Interessting places could be:
- Calanques (France, close to Marseille, single and multipitch sport and trad routes, some directly above the sea)
- Verdon (France, multipitch sport and trad on the right hand side of the river, single sport routes on the left hand side of the river)
- Buoux and Ceuese (France, both really good sport climbing areas)
- island of corse (contains to France, everything from single sport to long trad routes, Bavella is very nice, think may is a really good time to climb there)
- area around Brinacon (French alps, every kind of style, most on calcaire, the rock on the high alpine routes isn't the best)
- area around the lac d'annecy have some really good cliffs (France, most is single pitch sport climbing, calcaire)
- Ticino (Switzerland, everything from single pitch sport to bigwall, most of the longer routes need some extra protection)
- island of Sardegna (Italy, everything from single sport pitches to long routes, most calcaire)
- as described Finale Ligure (Italy, calcaire, most sport but also some longer climbs)
- i wouldn't recommend Arco (Italy) if you want to do single pitch sport climbing- polished and many, many people BUT the longer routes are ok cause they get much less traffic but they are nice
- if you go to Austria try Zillertal and Ötztal, nice single and multipitch routes on gneiss, sport and trad
- ....
if you want more information (guidebooks, camping,...) just give a message.
ciao, fabi
