Rock climbing and sport climbing

Climbing is the art of going up high… it is a demanding activity, that requires focus, balance, agility, self-control and technical skills.

Climbing also implies deep knowledge and interaction with the mountains, leads to building a strong friendship between rope-team mates and to experiencing intense emotions. The Mountain Guide is the traditional companion to practice this discipline with.

On the Dolomites, as well as on the whole Alpine range, there is plenty of rock climbing and sport climbing routes, differing in length and difficulty level.
