Many people come to Europe to climb in France and other countries but often come to Italy to enjoy the culture and food. There are not too many areas within Italy you can not find some climbing. This makes a perfer destination for those who are a bit older and no longer feel like sleeping on a crash pad, climbing 8 days in a roll, or perhaps your travel partner does not have the same drive to climb as you do. You can plan a great vacation in Italy where you can mix a bit of climbing with culture, wine and good food.
