Curious if anyone is going (I know a few from SLC are)?

Camping or hotels?

This is a great area!

Ok, a few folks are going. Could be super fun.

There's gobs (gobs!) of rock climbing in the area. Right behind the rondy site, as well as across the street. I have at least one local guidebook and the area is stacked with venues.

Great access to the alps too, right on the Swiss/Italian border.

Its kinda spendy for airline tickets to Europe, but, for the small fee of attending, the camping is free and at least breakfasts are cheap.

I'll be looking to stay on for another week to climb or canyon if it rains. Possible venues: Grimsel, Furka in Switzerland, Kaisergebirge in Austria, Val di Mello and above in Italy, the Brenta Dolomites, Ecrin/Vercors in France...its all just a few hours away by car.

Ping me if you're interested. I spent the better part of a week in this area two years ago and its great. Way too much to do...
