Vache bleau cliff
One of the most recent equipped cliffs in Val dell’Opol in an area abounding with meadows, woods and virgin cliffs, where this beautiful emerald was extracted, and which has a cave on the right with a difficulty grade of 9a, one of Italy’s highest.
Difficulty
Cliff that is worthwhile due to the variety and length of its routes (from 6c to 9a+).
Climate
SW exposure and 800 m. above sea level. Hot in the summer, ideal in other seasons because of friction and good climbing.
Access and parking
SP 510 Brescia-Darfo (provincial road), Colpiano exit, Zone direction. After 2.5 km. turn right towards Croce di Marone and continue on a small road that is dirt in sections, which passes through the Valle dell’ Opol, going past the areas of Madonna della Rota, Terra di Mezzo (formerly Sass Striat) and Arco di Pietra. As soon as you go past the picturesque Cascina Casinel, there is a left curve and a right one, then you will find a clearing on the left.
Park and continue on foot for about 20 metres, then near the sign, take a slightly uphill trail on the left that will lead you to the base of the cliff in 10 minutes.
