The routes

Etienne on the First Sella Tower in the Dolomites is dedicated to Etienne Bernard, the ski instructor, mountain guide, and alpinist who lost his life in an avalanche in January 2021. Fully bolted, the route starts up the Schöber-Rossi, then trends left...

Bolted climb put up by Bruno Sartorelli and Danilo Serafini up the second bastion of Mondeval, the beautiful pillar that together with the others forms the sunny south Face of Lastoni di Formin.

Excalibur is undoubtedly the most beautiful icefall in the valley. Three steps connected together create an exemplary line, aesthetically perfect. The first drip which enters the water is highly characteristic... place protection immediately to avoid the cold bath!Sottoguda represents an...

A modern route through the center of the face, up grey rock to the right of Spigolo Priolo. Easier and less sustained than nearby Spiderman, the climbing is demanding with a 7b crux and obligatory 7a.

First ascended in winter 1972 with few pegs and no aid, this route represented a milestone in mountaineering both for its grade and style of ascent. Nowadays it is an interesting route, perhaps slightly discontinuous, but worth repeating, if only...

Fairplay is located in the Sella Vallon group on Piz da Lech (2908m) and was established by Simon Gietl & Klaus Gruber from the ground up without the use of bolts and with just trad gear and pegs as protection,...

Another excellent bolt route up the exposed buttress. The route partially follows an old aid-route. The climbing is very similar to that on the other routes nearby: sustained and technical.

Felsenkeller on Mt Somamunt in the Antersasc valley above Campill / Longiarü in Val Badia is an extremely beautiful mixed climb set in a wild and scenic ambient. This is the left-hand drip of 'Schorschs Weinfall' (Manuel Baumgartner, Simon Kehrer...

Beautiful winter climb up the NW Face of Cima d'Ambiez in the Brenta Dolomiteds. The new mixed climb is a direct version of Passaggio Solista, established by Tomas Franchini solo in May 2013. The first two pitches are exteremely difficult...

End of an Era is a beautiful and demanding climb established ground-up on Cima Cee in Val di Tovel in the Brenta Dolomites by Rolando Larcher and Luca Giupponi on 13 - 15 June and 7 July 2019, after Larcher...

First Time in Val Ombretta, opposite the south face of the Marmolada,l is not particularly long, but its two pitches are on excellent quality ice, set in a truly unique ambient. Given its altitude and the fact that it faces...

Technical and demanding climb protected by a mix of trad gear and bolts. The route climbs a line in a wild but realatively easily accessible setting. The route faces north and is ideal for the summer months.

Great route on the righthand side of the face, up rough and very good quality rock. The climb takes advantage of the most beautiful and compact section, providing varied and elegant climbing in a fantastic setting. The in-situ gear is...

Fluido Giallo is an elegant three-pitch outing which can easily be combined with the classic Rio Pelous.

An interesting ski mountaineering traverse, less frequented than Val Chedul, with an easy couloir (val Culea) which allows you to enter the upper section of Vallunga. Even in this case the return is easy using the Sellaronda lifts.

This is an interesting and not particularly demanding circular route. The ascent through the Val di Tasca is simple, and followed by a long, sunny descent back towards San Pellegrino. Spring snow conditions render this itinerary unforgettable.
