This town with its suggestive historical center hosts the Frasassi Climbing Festival every year. A festival focused on sport climbing but not only... Also MTB, bouldering, slack-line, yoga and hiking. The event takes place on the last weekend of August, a moment of international meeting between lovers of this sport. Surely an initiative that wants to successfully promote (naturalistic) tourism in this area. For the whole weekend there is a streetboulder competition, so you climb in the alleys, on the walls of the houses, the tower or the surrounding wall. Truly spectacular, even for those who do not participate. However, it is also worth visiting all year round to browse through its alleys or to take a trip to Monte Murano.
