Welcome to the epic adventure that awaits you in the magnificent Orco Valley, a climber's paradise known worldwide!

This valley is called the "European Yosemite" because its majestic rock walls resemble those iconic ones in the famous Yosemite, albeit on a smaller scale. It was right here, in the '70s, during the era of the "Nuovo Mattino," that a revolution took place, forever transforming the world of mountaineering and rock climbing in Italy and beyond.

It is to honor the legendary Capitan of Yosemite that the walls between Noasca and Ceresole were named by their discoverers and pioneers in the '70s, Caporal and Sergent.

Quoting the words of Mike Kosterlitz, who, together with Gian Piero Motti, is one of the main protagonists of the Nuovo Martino: "It was incredible, simply incredible. There was this continuous succession of granite walls, each more beautiful and bigger than the previous one, where everything was still to be done, everything. It was like discovering a Yosemite behind your own doorstep. For me, accustomed to the small walls of Wales and Derbyshire, exploited to the last hold, it was a paradise on earth. There was more untouched rock on Caporal alone than in all of Snowdonia. We just had to decide where to go, it was absolutely incredible that such places still existed."
