Sicily is mostly famous for the movies about the Italian Maffia. But there is much more to it. To begin with, it’s an island! the largest in the Mediterranean Sea. And it’s located just south of the Italian mainland, from which it’s divided by a narrow strait named Messina.

But for us, rock climbing lovers, there is even more to it. There are endless climbing possibilities with amazing landscapes and sceneries.

And this program will take you to the best spots in the island. And you’ll also have the possibility of visit incredible archaeological sites and relax at an spectacular spa or on a beach, plus you’ll be enjoying the amazing and world famous italian culinary delights.

As there are so many options to chose from I offer you a purely illustrative itinerary below. But we’ll discuss your preference and make a tailored trip according to your wishes.

So don’t hesitate about it, send me a request for this 7-day rock climbing trip in Sicily and let me show you the most wonderful rock climbing spots in this island!

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival

we’ll rent a car in Trapani and go to the location you chose. Transfers are always by car unless we decide to spend a few days at San Vito Camping, from where we can reach many areas on foot.

Day 2: Salinella

Wake up and breakfast. Transfer to Salinella, the main crag in the area of San Vito Lo Capo. An impressive number of equipped routes for every taste will await us. The beautiful view of the sea and the mild climate make it an ideal destination for winter climbing.

Day 3: Custonaci

Wake up, breakfast and off to Custonaci and the spectacular Never Sleeping Wall crag. The special thing about this place is the multitude of pipes and concretions which are abundant on the easy climbs.

Day 4: Crown of Aragon

After breakfast, we will go towards the Crown of Aragon, a beautiful and scenic crag, with mostly overhanging walls rich in concretions. The climb is athletic and continuous. Light lunch and relax on the beach before moving to the crags near Palermo.

Day 5: Bauso Rosso

Also the area of Palermo is rich in crags including Bauso Rosso, a magnificent rocky bar 500 m long with four important sections: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso and Arctica.

Day 6: Roccia dello Schiavo

Another day, another crag. This time is the Roccia dello Schiavo, a spur of Monte Pellegrino that overlooks the Parco della Favorita, in the heart of Palermo. The rock is an exceptional grey limestone, often sharp, but there are also areas with cracks and hourglasses. It is an area rich in sports itineraries to suit all tastes and levels, as well as multi-pitch routes.

Day 7: Palermo sightseeing and departure

The last day is dedicated to visiting Palermo, while the most indefatigable ones could spend the time with the last climbs before flying back home.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
