The routes

Männer die auf Wände starren is a little gem on the Rotwand. It runs fairly close to the Casarotto route, but never crosses it. Furthermore, it provides has the same good rock as the Casarotto, and this only begins to...

A superb climb on Cima Mantello: water ice in the first pitches and then a gully almost all the way to the summit. The ambient where the drip is located is incredible, completely out of this world… no SAT trail nearby,...

The Queen of the Dolomites and the highest peak in this magnificent massif, Punta Penia, attracts hikers and mountaineers throughout the entire year. The classic Cresta Ovest places ferrata skills into a severe alpine environment: this traverse and descent along...

A beautiful route that climbs the east face of the Torre Grande di Falzarego in 11 pitches, opened solo and ground-up on compact rock protected by bolts and a few pegs. All belays are equipped with bolts and rings. Once...

First ascended from the ground-up in 2007 with stainless steel bolts, Mastro Lindo takes a line to the right of Linea d'ombra. The second pitch is hard but well protected, all remaining pitches are fun up a series of pockets...

The West Face takes a line to the right of Diedro Dallago, up solid but sometimes dirty rock. It initially follows a series of corners, before continuing up an obvious crack which forks high up beneath the yellow roof. The...

Mente Demente climbs up the righthand side of the face, between the routes Anita (Massarotto-Salvestro 1984) and Massarotto - Bellin - Sansonne - Zonta (1992). The start is situated on the long grassy ledge that cuts across the wall, next...

Mittelpfeiler is a pleasant outing up solid rock, especially in the upper section. With in-situ gear throughout the entire route, the Messner was long considered one of the hardest routes in the Dolomites. Heinz Mariacher repeated the route adding an...

Monte Pore, with its large iron summit cross, stands out like an immense white, beckoning pyramid above Passo Giau. The best way to answer its call is to put on snowshoes and walk to the summit – although demanding, it’s...

Sass de Stria (2477m), literally “bewitched rock”, was entirely tunnelled by the Austrian Army during the First World War, rendering it an important strategic stronghold, impenetrable for the Italian Alpini. The itinerary reaches the summit of the natural sentry post...

MoonDance on the west face of Cima Uomo in the Brenta Dolomites is probably the most accessible alpine sport climb in the area above Lake Tovel. It was first ascended ground-up using skyhooks; the difficulty is 6c/S2 and to repeat...

Steep face climbing up sometimes friable rock, to the right of via Buhl on the west face of Rotwand, Rosengarten, Dolomites.

Multicolor is the first route on Monte Petorgnon in Val Pramper, established with bolts except for the characteristic crack pitch which takes trad gear. The route climbs smooth black Dolomite slabs and then continues up the overhanging face. At present...

A winter itinerary, easy and safe which is ideal as the season’s first ski mountaineering trip.

The entire route offers varied climbing in a marvelous setting, but should not be underestimated by any means.

A modern, demanding alpine sports climb up the overhanging yellow wall to the left of Spigolo Giallo.
