Sasso Corbč can be linked to the nearby walls of : Montorfano, Mottarone, Cuzzago, Gravellona Toce, Nibbio e Rovegro
. They are all well spit nailed and with chains ( See the guide book "Di OsSola arrampicata").
At the base there is a block, some metres high, that has been equipped in order to be used as a training ground
. At the moment it is not very popular and therefore never crowded.
From the top of the wall, climb up a short rock (use the fixed rope), follow the path you see and in 10-15 minutes you will reach the "summit"( it's the top of a hill where one of the two ski-lifts arrives) of Sasso Corbč, from where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the lake, of Mount Rosa and the nearby Mount Zeda.
At Pian di Sole there are two restaurants open all year round, one of them near the ski-lifts, and a golf links with 9 holes. At Premeno you can find accomodation in hotels and boarding-houses. In the future other routes, some of which even less difficult, will be opened and the present ones are now going to be lengthened with more difficult stretches.

Access
From Verbania follow the signs to Premeno first and then to Piancavallo. When you get to the square in Piandisole turn left into Corso Italia - Skilifts. Drive about 1 Km to the upper part of the village and near a viewpoint turn left into a blind alley and go up to a red bar. A path on the left will lead you in a few minutes to the base of the wall where all routes start. All the routes can be reached either by walking (fixed rope) or by an easy climb.
