Guide fees, group equipment and planning included. Dates on request.
Overview
What to expect.
The Dolomites hold some of the finest moderate multi-pitch climbing in Europe: steep, featured limestone, solid holds and summits that feel bigger than their grades. This week links five classic routes between the Sella Pass and the Cinque Torri.
You should be leading or seconding grade 5 comfortably and know how to belay and abseil. Your guide leads every pitch, so you can focus on the climbing and the views.
Itinerary
Day by day.
Plans follow the weather and the group. Your guide confirms each day the evening before and adapts the route when conditions call for it.
Day 1. Cinque Torri warm-up
Short routes on the Torre Grande to settle into the rock and the rope systems.
Day 2. First Sella Tower
The south face of the First Sella Tower, eight pitches of classic Dolomite climbing above the pass.
Day 3. Piz Ciavazes
A longer day on the Ciavazes wall with a scenic ledge traverse and an abseil descent.
Day 4. Rest or Second Sella Tower
Depending on the weather and your energy, a rest day in Val Gardena or a shorter route on the Second Tower.
Day 5. Big day of the week
The guide picks the best long route for the conditions, often on the Sassolungo group, with an early start and a hut lunch on the way down.
