North of Brunico is the valley of Tures. A beautiful remote area that is still enjoying the quite mountain lifestyle of the alps. There are three know sites in the area to boulder. The valley has other boulders in the area but there does not seem to be many individuals who are developing new sites..
The best area to climb is the Aufhofen or Villa Santa Caterina area. There are several good problems, the boulders are good sized, and there is still some problems to be cleaned. Neugas would be the second best area and though small there are some good problems in the upper difficulty. However, the site is on a steep hillside so be alert for spotting and not a great place for younger climbers. The last two sites I have listed as one Tobl and Tobl Kehre, you can walk between the two areas. There is a small wall near Tobl Kehre that is more interesting than the site. Many boulders here are very small so there are lots and lots of sit starts.
