Before you go

Champorcher after rain

Champorcher: boulders high in the mountains, in Aosta Valley, Italy. The nearest other areas here are Valle dell'Orco (36 km), Fionnay (52 km) and Plan de l'Aiguille (66 km).

Is Champorcher dry today?

The answer at the top of this page comes from the German weather service's forecast and how fast the rock dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.

How long does Champorcher take to dry after rain?

We don't have Champorcher's rock type on record, so the model dries it slower than granite or limestone, to err on the wet side. These times are the model's estimates, tuned on Fontainebleau sandstone and not checked here. After a proper soaking (2 mm of rain or more), sunny, windy boulders need about 11 hours of dry weather, most of the boulders about 18 hours, and shaded ones about 25 hours. A light shower needs less. Wind, sun and dry air shorten the wait, and above about 92% humidity the model won't call the rock dry.

Can you climb at Champorcher when the rock is wet?

Wet rock is slick, and pockets and cracks seep for days. If the holds feel greasy, come back later.
