Perzen Street Boulder

Urban climbing arrives in Pergine Valsugana

Perzen Street Boulder is an urban climbing event that brings street bouldering among the buildings and squares of Pergine Valsugana, in the province of Trento, in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige. For an entire weekend, the town's historic center transforms into a massive open-air gym: crash pads on the pavement, chalk-covered hands, and over 30 boulders mapped out for every difficulty level, from novices to the most experienced climbers.

A contest born from the streets

The event was born from the collaboration between Overchalked, a group of enthusiasts who have been developing new climbing areas in the Trentino valleys for years, and the Workless Collective, a team specialized in organizing outdoor events. The idea is simple and engaging: to see potential where others see only walls, rediscovering urban spaces through the athletic movement of bouldering.

The event program

Saturday opens with climbing lessons dedicated to children and schools in Piazza Municipio, followed by yoga in the square, talks with athletes, highline exhibitions, and balance challenges. In the afternoon, the street boulder contest kicks off on the lines traced throughout the center, while in the evening, the town comes alive with food, stands, live music, and DJ sets. Sunday features AcroYoga, slackline, bike rides, and a second competition session, culminating in the finals on an artificial wall with the awards ceremony, before the final aperitif.
