Climbing in the Dolomites: crags and classic routes

The walls and crags of the Dolomites, from classic routes to climbing gyms for every level.

Dolomite rock wrote the history of mountaineering, and climbing in the Dolomites is still a dream for many climbers today. The choice is huge: multi-pitch classic routes on the great walls, modern well-bolted sport routes and crags in the Dolomites where you can practise single-pitch climbing, suitable for beginners too.

A landmark is the Cinque Torri area above Cortina, a genuine open-air climbing gym with classic routes of every grade and short approaches. For each spot we note the aspect, number of routes and difficulty, so you can choose between sport and trad climbing based on your experience. Always check the condition of the rock and hire a mountain guide for the longer alpine routes.
