Ferentillo Verticale - Climbing Contest
The international sport climbing contest in Valnerina
About Ferentillo Verticale
Climbing in the Kingdom of Valnerina
Ferentillo, in the province of Terni, is one of the best-known names in sport climbing in Italy, thanks to its cliffs nestled in the Valnerina: Isola, Mummie, Lu Strittu, and Balcone. This is the setting for Ferentillo Verticale, the international climbing contest that attracts climbers from all over Italy and abroad.
Two Races, Two Souls
The event is divided into two categories. The Marathon Race tests endurance and technical skill: five hours of climbing on the four cliffs in the area. The Street Boulder brings climbing into the heart of the village, on artificial walls 3-4 meters high, without ropes and with safety mats, in short but intense challenges also open to the public.
A Celebration for the Village
The headquarters is in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, in the village of Precetto. The event, also supported by the Fondazione Carit, combines sport, community, and local promotion, making Ferentillo and Valnerina a prime destination for rock climbing enthusiasts. A day of competition is also an opportunity to discover a spectacular corner of Umbria, with its limestone walls, abbeys, and nature.
