Una realtà unica in Europa che off re: • un clima ideale per la maggior parte dell’anno; • una estrema varietà di ambienti naturali ancora integri, dalle sponde mediterranee del Garda ai pascoli d’alta montagna; • una grande ricchezza di proposte, in un raggio di 10 km è possibile praticare tutte le attività outdoor: dall’arrampicata, all’alpinismo, dalle escursioni alle vie ferrate, dalla vela al wind surf, dalla canoa al canyoning, dal volo libero al base jumping, dalla moun- tain-bike al ciclismo su strada, all’ippotrekking; • strutture ricettive diversifi cate ed accoglienti, dai campeggi agli agriturismi, ad alberghi di ogni livello; • punti vendita, servizi di accompagnamento, nolo ed informazioni specializzati e di alta qualità. Ma soprattutto un’atmosfera di accoglienza e disponibilità che fanno del GardaTrentino la casa di tutti gli appassionati dello sport outdoor. OUTDOOR PARK GARDA TRENTINO Privati ed Amministrazioni Pubbliche hanno riconosciuto il grande valore, sociale ed eco- nomico, di questo nuovo turismo. Le sette Amministrazioni Comunali del Garda Trentino e Val di Ledro , in collaborazione con la Comunità di Valle Alto Garda e Ledro e la Provincia Autonoma di Trento, sotto la regia di GardaTrentino SPA, dal 2010 hanno lanciato un piano pluriennale di valorizzazio- ne delle attività sportive all’aria aperta con la creazione dell’Outdoor Park Garda Trentino. Un progetto volto non solo a rendere meglio e più fruibile lo spazio outdoor ma anche a preservare e difendere questa inestimabile risorsa. Sono stati attrezzati e valorizzati, ed altri se ne aggiungeranno nei prossimi anni falesie, sentieri, ferrate, aree boulder, itinerari mountain-bike e piste per gravity, piste ciclabili, ma soprattutto vengono controllati e mantenuti perchè siano sempre nelle migliori condizioni. Il Piano di Sviluppo prevede la realizzazione di servizi e strutture per mobilità, parcheggio ed informazione per rendere più agevole ma anche più sostenibile la presenza di tanti appassionati sul territorio del Garda Trentino. Qualche giornata tra i sentieri e le falesie di Arco e del GardaTrentino vi regalerà un carico di emozioni che non potrete scordare. 9 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 9 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1100 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 Arco - GardaTrentino A paradise for outdoor sports Arco and the Garda Trentino region is extremely popular among outdoor enthusiasts. A unique European reality that off ers: • ideal climate almost all year round. • huge variety of unspoiled natural habitats, from the Mediterranean Lake Garda to lush alpine meadows. • unlimited number of diff erent activities – all outdoor activities within a 10km radius: climbing, alpinism, walking, vie ferrate, sailing, windsurf, canoeing and kayaking, free fl ight, base jumping, mountain biking and cycling, horse riding treks. • range of quality accommodation – from campsites and agriturismi to all types of hotels. • specialised shops, guides, information and gear hire. Above all though it is Arco’s welcoming atmosphere that has made it the home of all outdoor enthusiasts. OUTDOOR PARK GARDA TRENTINO Private enterprises and town councils have recognised the social and economic impor- tance of this new form of tourism. The seven Garda Trentino and Valle di Ledro administrations, the Valle Alto Garda and Le- dro and the autonomous province of Trento have launched a multi-year project directed by GardaTrentino SPA to valorise the region’s open air sports and to create the Outdoor Park Garda Trentino. This project is aimed not only at improving access to the outdoor activities, but above all to preserve and defend this priceless natural resource. Crags, paths, via ferrata, bouldering areas, mountain bike routes and cycling paths will not only all be equipped and signposted, but above all checked and maintained to ensure they are in pristine condition. The project also includes improving transport, car parks and access information to facili- tate outdoor enthusiasts during their stay in the Garda Trentino. A few days spent along the Garda Trentino paths and at the Arco crags will provide you with unforgettable emotions. 11 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1111 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1122 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1133 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1144 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1155 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1166 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 / AGOSTO 26 AUGUST / Climbing Stadium - 9.00 COPPA DEL MONDO LEAD - qualificazioni IFSC LEAD WORLD CUP - qualification round Town centre/Centro Storico - 17.00 Rock Master Village apertura / opening Casinò Municipale - 20.30 Arco Rock Legends Town centre/Centro Storico - 22.00 Rock Master party - Afro music - dj Corrado / AGOSTO 27 AUGUST / Climbing Stadium - 9.30 COPPA DEL MONDO SPEED - qualificazioni IFSC SPEED WORLD CUP - qualifications Town centre/Centro Storico - 11.00 Slackline show by Spider Slackline Climbing Stadium - 13.00 COPPA DEL MONDO LEAD - Semifinali IFSC LEAD WORLD CUP - Semifinals Town centre/Centro Storico - 15.00 Rock Master Village apertura / opening Town centre/Centro Storico - 16.00 Slackline show by Spider Slackline Climbing Stadium - 18.00 COPPA DEL MONDO SPEED - Finali IFSC SPEED WORLD CUP - Finals Climbing Stadium - 20.00 COPPA DEL MONDO LEAD - Finali IFSC LEAD WORLD CUP - Finals Climbing Stadium - 22.00 IFSC WORLD CUP - premiazioni / awards ceremomy Town centre/Centro Storico - 22.30 Rock Master party - musica dal vivo/live music Town centre/Centro Storico - 22.30 ROCK MASTER DUEL - presentazioni atleti e consegna pettorali ROCK MASTER DUEL - athletes introduction and bib presentation Town centre/Centro Storico - 23.00 Slackline show by Spider Slackline 17 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1177 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 iinternonterno llibretto.inddibretto.indd 1188 116/08/166/08/16 117:517:51 / AGOSTO 28 AUGUST / Town centre/Centro Storico - 10.30 Rock Master Village apertura / opening Town centre/Centro Storico - 11.00 Music show - artisti di strada / street artists Climbing Stadium - 11.30 KO BOULDER CONTEST femminile / female Centro Storico / Town centre - 12.30 Slackline show by Spider Slackline Climbing Stadium - 14.00 ROCKMASTER DUEL - qualificazioni e finali / qualifying and finals Climbing Stadium - 15.30 KO BOULDER CONTEST maschile / male Climbing Stadium - 17.00 premiazioni / Awards ceremony Centro Storico / Town centre Caffè Conti d’Arco - 18.00 RockMaster Party by La Sportiva / SETTEMBRE 02 SEPTEMBER / Climbing Stadium - 14.00 Rock Junior - Under 14 Cup - Boulder / SETTEMBRE 03 SEPTEMBER / Climbing Stadium - 10.00 Rock Junior - Under 14 Cup - Lead Climbing Stadium - 14.00 “Arrampicare ad Arco” concorso Disegna l’Arrampicata - concorso di pittura per bambini - giochi gonfiabili fotografico per amatori, per Climbing drawings - children’s painting competition - bouncy castles regolamento vai al sito www.rockmasterfestival.com / SETTEMBRE 04 SEPTEMBER / “Climbing at Arco” a photo contest Climbing Stadium - 10.00 for amateur photographers,

ARCO (ITALY) CELEBRATES LEAD MASTERS Italy’s Leonardo Gontero “burns” Russian Sinitsyn in final Russia celebrates a triple podium in women’s Puigblanque and Eiter at the…top Boulder KO finals and Duel competition today Arco - Northern Italy - hosted Saturday the IFSC Speed World Cup, as part on the 10-days Rock Master Festival event, and Leonardo Gontero and Alina Gaydamakina grabbed the gold. Both the Italian and Russian climbers showed impressive skills on the 15-meter tall Italian wall, and reached the final against three-times Speed World Cup winner Sergey Sinitsyn and countrywoman Yulia Levochkina, respectively. After beating Bassa Mawem and Libor Hroza, Gontero showed up extremely determined to wear the first-ever gold medal in Italian speed climbing history. Sinitsyn had obviously something different in his mind, but at the end of the race Gontero appeared to be the first to push the button. Looking at the timings, though, both were off and the final had to be redone. High pressure on both competitors, however the Italian eventually managed not to lose his mind and beat the Russian to the top. Hroza earned the bronze. Among women, current World Cup leader Gaydamakina got rid of Polish Prokopiuk and Russian Polekhina in quarters and semis, before facing Levochkina and beating her too in the final. Concerning the Lead competition, reigning world champions Ramon Puigblanque and Angela Eiter showed off their muscles from the very beginning and were the only two climbers to reach and clip the top in the on-sight competition.
