Sport Climbing in the Dolomites

Arrive in the Dolomites on your own (private transfer available on request) and check into your hotel.  Depending on when you arrive, you may have time to enjoy the amenities of your Hotel. In the late afternoon you will meet your UIAGM/IFMGA Professional Mountain Guide for a trip briefing and orientation, and to check the climbing equipment you will use for your exciting days in the Dolomites.

Cortina d'Ampezzo is a charming alpine resort town surrounded by stunning peaks, uniquely sheltered from the cold winds of the North, giving it a pleasantly mild climate that tourists can enjoy year-round. Host to the 1956 Winter Olympics, Cortina enjoys a reputation for great winter and summer skiing, attracting hikers and climbers who challenge the rocky faces of the nearby mountains. This chic alpine town also caters to the high society crowd, offering many year-round social activities, shopping, and fine dining.

The many sport climbing rock faces around Cortina give climbing lovers around two thousand pitches to try out, a truly significant number and one which is growing thanks to the consent. Your guide will select the most suitable and enjoyable climb for you, based on fitness and weather conditions.

The day begins with a transfer to Val di Fassa. You will decide with your guide (based on your wishes and abilities, and the weather situation) your climbing day. In Val di Fassa and on the Sella Towers there are numerous climbing routes of all difficulties, and of varying length. Favored by the proximity to the underlying Passo Sella, and the quality of the rock, they are a favorite destination for many of the climbers who tour these places.

The Sella Massif is an enormous, fortress-shaped group of mountains. The mountain lies between the four Ladin valleys of the Dolomites:  Alta Badia, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, and Livinallongo del Col di Lana. The Sella is truly a haven for outdoor sports. In the eastern area of this extensive massif, there a small group of three beautiful and little known peaks that enclose the north side of the Vallon basin: Sasso delle Nove, Sass dal Diesc, and Piz da Lec de Boe. From below, these three peaks create a sundial, visible from the village of Colfosco / Kolfuschg. All three of the peaks offer very good climbing routes, which is where you will spend your day climbing. There are enough routes in the area to fill several entire seasons of climbing.

Do you have a climbing dream? Just make a wish! This day will be confirmed upon reservation of the trip.

Breakfast and departure on your own (private transfer available on request).
