We are travelling together to a very special mountain range: the Dolomites. The rock faces rise steeply from the surrounding meadows and forests, dotted with couloirs, towers and unique rock formations. These huge rock towers feel as if a greater power has built a playground for climbers. Alpine history was written here – Sella, Langkofel, Tofana and the legendary Three Peaks await you!

Climbing paradise Dolomites: Discover the ‘steep’ side of Trentino-South Tyrol!
The ultimate climbing week for adventurers and those eager to learn
Despite the steepness of the walls, the classic Dolomite tours in grade IV are easy to grip and offer perfect conditions for sustainable coaching. You have the opportunity to lead a rope team and make decisions in a protected environment. We support you in this and accompany you during your learning process. With our modern leadership style, we impart applicable knowledge and offer a framework in which you can apply it in a protected environment.
As soon as you start climbing the rock faces, you will feel the unique alpine atmosphere. The climbing tours are often secured with mobile equipment and require good instincts. Historically, the Dolomites have exciting stories to tell – it is not uncommon to come across signs of the Dolomite War during climbing tours. South Tyrol is no slouch when it comes to cuisine: the mountain inns are known for their extremely friendly staff and delicious cuisine.
The descent is often just as adventurous as the ascent: abseiling, route finding and challenging terrain make every tour a complete mountain experience. If you want, you can take the lead on these tours and climb first – if you don’t want to anymore, our Mountain Guides will be happy to take over again!
Some of the notable tours and peaks in the area that we can visit locally, depending on experience and weather, are:
- Tofane di Rozes – Alverakante;
- Third Sella Tower – Vinatzer Führe;
- Second Sella Tower;
- Fünfigerspitze – Glückführe;
- Sass Pordoi – Daumenkante
- Gross-Führe – South Edge;
- Grosser Falzaregoturm;
- Dibona Führe – Southeast Face;
- Kleine and Grosse Micheluzzi,
- Grohmannspitze – Dimai and Harrer,
- Langkofel – Pichl;
- Ciavazes – Abramkante;
- Drei Zinnen – Gelbe Kante.
There are also countless climbing crags and areas around the Sella Pass in the region, which can be visited in case of bad weather.
