Something about Valanga

Description

The crag of Valanga is located on a small and sunny rocky bastion, at the bottom of Pizzo Sella (Sella Peak), overlooking the coda od Salinella and the Màcari Bay. There are some twenty routes,  of medium and medium/high difficulty. The approach is not long, but steep. The space under the rock wall is not much comfortable, thus this place is not much good for children. The view on Monte Cofano, is interesting, though.



Approach

BY PLANE

The nearest international airports to San Vito lo Capo are the one of Trapani and the one of Palermo. The airport of Trapani is the nearest one (45 minutes by car), but the airport of Palermo (60 minutes by car) offer much more international flights. Once at Trapani (or Palermo), it’s convenient to book a rental car to San Vito together with the flight, as the public transport from Trapani (or Palermo) is not regular. As an alternative, you can book a private transfer, and once you are in San Vito, you can get around on foot, or by a rental bicycle

BY FERRY

You can take a ferry to Palermo from many harbors: Genova, Livorno,  Civitavecchia (near Roma), Napoli,  Salerno, or from Cagliari (in Sardegna).

If you have a car, it’s convenient boarding with your car, or, as an alternative, booking a rental car to San Vito (or a private transfer).
