Climbing 'Mia e il Nonno' in the stunning Lake Garda Mountains is a truly memorable experience for any climber seeking a rewarding multi-pitch adventure. Graded around 6a/b French (or UIAA VI/VII-), it strikes a perfect balance between challenge and enjoyment, making it accessible to intermediate climbers while still offering plenty of engaging moves.

Located in the heart of the Arco area, the route ascends beautiful, solid limestone, typical of the region's world-renowned climbing.

Each pitch builds anticipation, culminating in breathtaking vistas from the summit. The exposure is exhilarating, but the quality of the rock and the thoughtful bolting inspire confidence. After soaking in the summit glory, the descent is typically via a series of well-marked rappels or a scenic walk-off, depending on the specific peak.

This route is more than just a climb; it's an immersion into the natural beauty and vertical world of Lake Garda. It's a fantastic choice for a day out, combining physical effort with stunning scenery and a sense of accomplishment.
