This area include a few sectors spread aside the left hand flank of the Unghiasse stream, in front of the famous Bec di Mea. The main crag is the Torrioni del Biollè itself, with multi-pitch climbs on todays affordable and medium grades. It has been part of the early "Nuovo Mattino" experimentation terrain since 1965 with the route "Via della Fessura" by Gian Piero Motti and the "Via del Camino" (1969 by Motti and Grassi). Later in the the 80s and 90s the crag suffered a period of lack of interest, untill the late 90s when a few more routes have been climbed by Blatto and Berta. In the same area a few other towers and small buttresses offer a wide range of possibilities, up to the extreme grades, both on single-pitch, multipitch or short-climbs. The rock is a fantastic gneiss with big crystals and a good grip. The exposition and position make this crag a perfect spot for mid-season climbs.
Considering if the sector is on the upper part of the area or on the lowest, two alternative approaches are possible.
A) For the upper sectors. Park in Alboni (above Pialpetta) and take the main big track for "Bec di Mea". Pass nearby the "Cupola" (the summit of the Bec di Mea) and descend, cross the stream on a wooden bridge and reach the Torrioni soon after (45 minutes).
B) For the lower sectors. Park in Bussoni, then take the track for "Bec di Mea", which ascends sghtly toward left the woods above the village (60 minutes).
