Summary
Limestone
The east face of Monte Casale represents the most imposing rock structure of the entire valley. It hosts climbs of great historical value, the best ones running along vertical pillars on both sides.
Description
East
The Monte Casale is a 1632 meter high mountain near the Lake Garda in Trentino mountains in Italy. The mountain rises with a 1400 meter high east wall above the village Pietramurata (254m) in the Sarca valley. It is the highest and most impressive wall in the valley.
Access issues inherited from Valle del Sarca
Many crags in the area of Arco are located on private land and the huge popularity of climbing and the resulting crowds brought it with it, that issues with land owners popped up in the past and continue to pop up from time to time. Please be sensitive to regional closures and limitations to access. Stay informed and stick to local regulations.
Approach
From Sarche in the direction of Arco turn right at the first sign for "Pietramurata". Immediately after a crossing follow the signs for the via ferrata and the Croz dei Pini trail. Park at the beginning of the trail near the gate of the big quarry. Follow the path for the via ferrata and when you get to the boulder marked "550" leave the path and traverse to the right at the base of the large cliff.
