The Karst is made of stone, and when it transforms into a vertical wall, it becomes a temple for climbers. Despite being only a few hundred meters above sea level, the Karst plateau hides some of the most picturesque climbing spots in Europe. Trieste, with its coastline and the Karst, offers unique geological aspects and allows climbers to ascend cliffs, walls, or the famous Val Rosandra while enjoying breathtaking scenery, all while respecting the rules applied in its natural reserves.

The history of this particular discipline in Trieste begins at the beginning of the 1900s with the name of Napoleone Cozzi, a mountaineer who opened the first routes in Rosandra Valley-Val Rosandra. During the period 1920-1940, it is above all the legendary Emilio Comici who spread the culture of climbing in Trieste. It is he who opens the first big routes, still in Val Rosandra, and on the walls of the Napoleonica road and on the Trieste Coast-Costiera Triestina.
