Planning a week long road-trip through Northern Italy with my 13yr old daughter in July (camping). Wondering about destinations and things to do. She's comfortable up to about 6a / 6a+ and has done some alpine stuff, but hates bouldering

I'd thought about a stop in Mello - but it looks like the mid-grade stuff is all high up and would need a trip up to a hut (that said, maybe the Piz Badile with a night in the bivvy hut beneath the summit might be fun).

Anyone got any suggestions?

There's a bunch in Mello also straight from the valley floor (e.g. Risveglio de Kundalini) and other shorter ones. They be more rock climbing than alpine stuff, though. They can be done from St. Martino and walking to the valley in a day.

Perhaps a slight detour to Swiss could also be done. E.g. Ticino has lots of plaisir (some trad gear required) climbing on easier grades. Even fully bolted, but long like Via del veterano (5a). Again, more rock climbing than alpine though... but a rather nice day out.

Most of the rock-climbing world has "multi-pitch" climbing in abundance without making a special point of it.

Have you thought about Finale?  There's loads of low to mid grade multi pitch sport climbing there, most of it no more than 20 minutes or so from parking (or sly camping, which seems to be fine there).  Lots of stuff has been rebolted recently so old bolts and scary runouts are totally avoidable now. Beautiful area too...

What about  Sella Towers?

Fantastic multi pitch in the lower Aosta Valley, e.g. here

Pilastro Lomasti
