Main Climbing Routes
“Sinfonia dei Mulini a Vento” (6c max, 6a obligatory). The most famous route on the Aguglia. Opened by Manolo and Alessandro Gogna in 1981, it has become a symbol of Italian free climbing. It requires precision, consistency and good mental control due to the exposure.
Other popular routes include: "Easy Gymnopedie" (6a max) – more accessible but still exposed; "Il Mio Nome è Nessuno" (6c max) – demanding but with breathtaking views; "Sole Incantatore" – aesthetic and continuous line, less frequented.
Nature and Atmosphere
During the climb, you're completely immersed in the wild nature of the Supramonte, with views over the open sea, cliffs and deep limestone valleys. In spring and autumn, the surroundings offer scents of myrtle, juniper and rosemary, with only the sound of the wind and seabirds. Best period: from April to June and from September to November; avoid summer due to heat and crowding at the cove. Climbing on the Aguglia is not regulated, but the highest respect for the environment is required.
