Cortina is located in the heart of the Dolomites, without doubt one of the most beautiful and spectacular areas for climbing in the entire Alpine arch. Here, climbing is almost exclusively on the sedimentary rock named Dolomite with a wealth of nubs, crevices and pockets of various sizes; in the case of Main Dolomite there are often also ledges, roofs and sharp, squarish holds, almost step-like, due to the rock’s specific stratification pattern. 

In Cortina there are over 1,000 traditional and modern routes, in addition to many crags equipped for sport climbing, all with different characteristics and settings, and for different climbing styles: historic crags, and other more recent routes, with shorter or longer approaches, with pitches on overhangs or slabs, of various exposure and grade.
