Sport Climbing

Show all
Cortina is in the heart of the Dolomites, absolutely one of the most beautiful and spectacular locations for sport climbing in the entire Alpine arch. Here you climb almost exclusively on Dolomite, a sedimentary rock with a wealth of nubs, crevices and pockets of various size. In Cortina there are 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. 

You can find a list of the crags in Cortina and the surrounding area, complete with sketches and details, by purchasing the guidebook “Falesie a Cortina d’Ampezzo - Klettergärten in Cortina, Sport Climbing in Cortina” edited by the climbing group “Scoiattoli di Cortina” (Cortina Squirrels), which has always been involved in the promotion of climbing. The Scoiattoli Group identified and bolted the pitches on most of Cortina’s crags, and it also works on their regular maintenance. The guidebook, edited and published by Idea Montagna, has descriptions of 26 sport climbing walls located around Cortina and in some other nearby municipalities, in Italian, English and German.
