The Circo is not exactly in the Pennavaire valley, but it is located in the Zuccarello’s territory, an area that has not been explored yet, which promises interesting opportunities. Of course we always wonder how Dinda can find these places, he always answers: "Just turn".
It is one of the furthest cliffs to reach, but the walk in the quiet and wild valley of the Rio Auzza is largely rewarded by the beautiful rock and the fun climbing style: compact limestone, red and gray, with notches and large tufas, athletic routes, but for everyone; the simplest routes on the right are also very interesting.

From the parking go toward the cement ramp, don’t take it, but follow the path on the right, sign TA Terre Alte – P3 (red square), which leads in the Rio Auzza valley.
