Over thirty years of vertical stories for this beautiful location, with marina and mountain double capacity, which has since seen a number of changes and it doesn’t seem to stop this growth.
More than forty areas with about a thousand sport climbing routes, dozens of multi-pitch routes, modern and trad. A lot of areas still to be discovered. And the climbers from all over Europe, they know it. In recent months alone about two hundred new pitches have been bolted, by Austrian,German and English climbers and mountain Italian guides.

Many climbers, “pro” and simple amateur, famous faces and strangers, who voluntarily give their time, effort and money to continue to give new routes and with a great desire to climb. Sicilian and Italian climbers, next to German, Austrian, British, Swiss, Slovaks, just to mention a few countries, all drawn from this fact that has achieved success in a few years as one of the top destinations in all of Europe.
San Vito lo Capo is indeed a paradise for those climbers who, in addition to the desire of good rock and spectacular routes, they also want clean sea water, good food and sunshine.
An ideal place for families with many leisure opportunities for children. In fact there are a lot of possibility of pleasant hiking, trekking or mountain biking tour in areas and natural reserves.
