The routes

Beautiful icefall with a demanding first pitch which climbs a corner broken by a roof and hanging drip. The second pitch is somewhat easier and climbs a finishing hanging drip up a section of 95° ice.

Beautiful 20m drip, tends to be very slender at the base. Located to the left of Eros.

Easy icefall with a series of easy 80° steps located to the right of The Prophet.

Fun icefall which rarely comes into condition, marked by a thin drip which descends down the dark compact granite.

The ice gully forms in the large cleft on the Parete Nascosta to the left of the summer rock route Madame Babette. The route climbs up interesting mixed sections and the crux 4th pitch climbs through an overhang. Three of...

The Burgsteinfall is a very popular icefall in the Ötztal, ideal to get a feel for 6 grade ice. The Burgsteinfall is one of the most popular ice climbs in the Ötztal thanks to its easy access and the...

First ascended by Tyrolean ice climbing legend Andreas Orgler, Hängende Gärten is the classic ice fall in Tyrol, fullstop. An important chapter in Tyrol's ice climbing history was written in 1988 when Orgler made the first ascent and the...

Monsterline is a long and demanding icefall. After a 'warm-up' on the first two pitches the monster awaits on the upper section with continues vertical climbing.The route owes its name to this upper section: the gigantic ice formation, almost always...

The high lying Renkfälle offer an impressive, breathtaking alpine ambient and almost a dozen icefalls ranging from WI4 to WI6 are located within a stone's throw of each other. The large variety on offer and the alpine environment close to...

Long and serious icefall which offers some of the finest ice climbing ever. Watch out for falling ice on pitch 3. Exact timing is crucial for a successful ascent as ice seldom forms along the entire line. Do not underestimate...

A logical, varied, technical, long and demanding route. This difficulties can vary considerably depending on the conditions and with its 700m in length it can be regarded as a mini grand course. The first section is a winding couloir with...

Great route, incredibly still unclimbed, hence the name "Unexpected surprise". This icefall is destined to become an instant classic. 60m ropes are needed (unless you want to split the second pitch and make an akward ice belay). It is worth...

Stupendous icefall in beautiful, completely sunny surroundings.

Pleasant ice fall in beautiful setting. Cross the river via a fixed rope, then climb the steep wall to reach a splendid section of cauliflower ice which makes this route unique. The crux pitch can be avoided by climbing to...

Cascade Chantriaux is the longest ice fall on the sector opposite Tete de Gramusat. Although somewhat discontinuous, the second pitch climbs a splendid free-standing drip. Unfortunately it rarely forms completely, and the upper section is often not in condition as...

The hardest pure ice route up the wall. The second pitch of "Over The Top" takes a direct line up the large 40m column, and this is then followed by a shorter drip.
