The routes

Nice icefall, one of the best in the area, not to be missed. Even if it faces SW the icefall receives the sun at the start of February only.

The magnificent Valle di Tures still conservers its typical South-Tyrolean charm, far-removed from the modern city stress. The valley as an ideal background to Franziskus, the icefall which is marked by a first steep section and it's two drips, which...

The icefall Rio Pelous, also known as Cascata di Campitello, is a beautiful drip immersed in a beautiful, surreal environment a mere 10 minutes from the car park at Col Rodella (Campitello di Fassa). The first vertical section is followed...

The Fontanazzo icefall can be seen clearly from the road, is easy to get to and has two characteristic steep sections, one on the second pitch and one on the final pitch. If the drip on the second pitch isn't...

Nice 180m icefall famous for the evocative amphitheatre it climbs through up its last pitch. This also happens to be perhaps the most interesting pitch of the entire route...

The first clean step is followed by an extremely aesthetic though somewhat short free standing drip on the second pitch.

Excellent route to finish off the day. The first pitch icefall is beautiful and good fun.

After a great first pitch the difficulties ease off somewhat. Watch out for avalanches.

If there is snow cover the icefall is extremely dangerous. The third pitch is outstanding.

Nice line first ascended in 1983 by the forerunner of ice climbing Alessandro Jaccod. Beware of avalanche danger after heavy snowfall.
