Route

The Cascata del sole is a great line which, given the right conditons, can be climbed in the sun. Starting from a wide base, the route narrows as it gains height into a small gully towards the end.

Sottoguda represents an obligatory ice climbing venue in North-East Italy for many ice climbers. Its relative vicinity to larger cities, ease of access, the in-situ protection and beauty of the routes render the canyon one of the most popular areas in this part of northern Italy.
