The face called "Fetovaia" is found just passed the village
of Seccheto and before that of Fetovaia, both of which are vicinities
of the town of Campo nell'Elba. Just as you leave Seccheto, on the
left (sea side), there are parking areas marked with a wood post
fence. If you leave your car in the second parking area, you can
easily reach the first two faces. You will have to go back along
the road to reach the other two faces, but you can still get there
on foot.

Note: The "Costa dei Gabbiani" climb is the newest face and has
been equipped with resin spits. The other faces are older, so it
is always a good idea to check the condition of the spits. In the
area, guides for hiking, mountain bikes and free-climbing are available.
The face at the "Viste" has recently been closed and climbing is
forbidden.
