Experience the heart of the Dolomites with a classic two-day multipitch climbing adventure based in the iconic Cortina d’Ampezzo region. This itinerary offers a blend of accessible yet spectacular climbing and unforgettable alpine scenery.
We’ll begin in the Cinque Torri area—perfect for warming up and practicing multipitch techniques on solid rock and well-protected routes.
On day two, we’ll step it up with a longer, more committing climb on the imposing south face of Tofana di Rozes, one of the crown jewels of the Dolomites.
