The walls and crags of the Dolomites, from classic routes to sport crags for every level.
This rock wrote the history of mountaineering, and climbing here is still a dream for a lot of people. You've got plenty to choose from: multi-pitch classics on the big walls, modern well-bolted sport routes, and crags where you can work single pitches, beginners included.
The Cinque Torri area above Cortina is the one everyone knows. It's an open-air climbing gym, really, with routes at every grade and short walk-ins. For each spot we note the aspect, the number of routes and the difficulty, so you can pick sport or trad to match your experience. Always check the state of the rock, and hire a mountain guide for the longer alpine lines.
