The routes

Established in late autumn and early winter - from 2005 onwards - to avoid rocks falling onto the famous Bocchette via ferrata and the Via Normale, Via Ladri now offers cleaned rock, beautiful in most parts, with the final pitches...

Via Lisa on the east face of Torre d'Ambiez is a traditional route that climbs the line between Via Anna and Via Armani. It provides pleasant and beautiful climbing, especially on the arête of the second half. The overall effort...

Via Mirko, a fantastic 19-pitch climb that leads to the summit of Monte Steviola.The route is well-equipped, but since all pitches are sustained, the outing is an interesting, not-to-be-underestimated free climbing challenge.

Via Monologica on Torre di Mezzaluna in Vallaccia was established ground-up over a period of 4 days, with 10mm stainless steel bolts on the pitches and at the belays.

Via Phoenix (via della Fenice) was climbed ground-up over two days, with a bivi at the base of the face. It climbs the Secondo Campanile in Val Orsera and, as such, is the first and only route to climb this...

Highly recommended route up the cold West Face of Cima Grande di Lavaredo, up surprisingly good rock and with all the makings of a modern alpine classic. Although first ascended as late as the 1980's, it falls in the category...

Over a three day period in September 2014 the South Tyrolean mountaineers Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher forged a new rock climb up Heiligkreuzkofel, also referred to as Sass de la Crusc. Voodoo-Zauber, climbs six independent pitches up the righthand...

Wasserläufer is a pleasant route in a great ambient; you often climb just a stone’s throw from the Margarethenbach waterfall, which shouldn’t be underestimated. The route was established ground-up with bolts. A big thank you to the Hochtourengruppe Lana for paying...

Weg der Neugier was established ground-up in summer 2015 by Hannes Pfeifhofer, Lisi Steurer, Markus Tschurtschenthaler with bolts past difficulties estimated at IX-.

This new route in the Gola del Limarò, unlike the previous ones, is a sport climb and offers beautiful and technical climbing up the “dominant” line of this compact face. What renders this climbing unique though is something else: while...

Over a six day period this summer the two South Tyrolean climbers Josef Hilpold and Ulrich Viertler made the first ascent of Wüstenblume - desert flower - up the pillar located between the routes Mutschlecher - Großrubatscher and Diedro Mayerl...

An absolute masterpiece, established over three days in September 1983 by Manolo and Roberto Bassi by abseiling in from above by, via Zanzara e Labbradoro is perhaps the most sought-after multi-pitch sport climb in Arco and the entire Sarca Valley....

An amazing climb that runs on the south face of the famous Zanzara pillar. The rock is always good, excellent even on the final pitches where it follows a logical line of tufas and crimps right through the cener of...

Nice and difficult route first ascended, then freed, by the South Tyroleans Martin and Florian Riegler from the ground up in summer 2007 without bolts. Vertical and overhanging crack climbing up good quality rock, with a boulder crux at 20m...

Florian Riegler describes his route as follows: "My brother and I were attracted by the large roof on this wall, perhaps one of the most overhanging in the Dolomites. We stated to bolt the route in summer 2004 but after...
