Reach Cortina d'Ampezzo

To reach the Cinque Torri, you can take the chairlift from Bai de Dones to the Rifugio Scoiattoli. Alternatively, from Cianzopé walk or take the shuttle service to Rifugio Cinque Torri.

Bai de Dones - Rifugio Scoiattoli
From Cortina, take the SS48 towards Passo Falzarego and reach the Bai de Dones area, where you will find the parking lot for the Cinque Torri chairlift.

P1: 25m, 3 bolts, Grade IV
Starts from the "Via delle Guide" on the west face of the Torre Grande. Leave the "Via delle Guide" on your right and follow the bolts on the left side of the face. The route trends slightly left after the third bolt and reaches the belay station with a chain.

P2: 20m, 4 bolts, Grade IV
The second pitch trends slightly to the left until reaching the belay station with a chain.

P3: 20m, 4 bolts, Grade IV
After the first bolt, climb over a vertical bulge to reach the belay station with a chain.

P4: 30m, 3 bolts
The pitch follows a perfectly vertical line until it intersects with "Via Olga" (the third bolt meets the resin bolt of "Via Olga"). Once past "Via Olga," continue straight up to the belay station with a chain.

P5: 30m, 5 bolts, Grade IV
The fifth and final pitch is certainly the most beautiful on "Via Cerullova." It follows the compact, vertical gray slab on excellent holds all the way to the summit ring of the "Via delle Guide."

Abseil down Via delle Guide.
