Geography

In the Foppiano district of Crodo there is a woodland that is famous for the many boulders that are found among the trees. In fact, the area is a notorious climbing spot among bouldering climbers, and the boulder "Sass Fendù" has become a symbol of this place. The valley has been known for climbing since the late 1990s, mostly because of the many gatherings and competitions that have been held there.
