The routes

A great wide, north-facing slope with a series of different descents. The Paradiso is ideal terrain to learn off-piste skiing seeing that you can return to the groomed piste whenever you want. This itinerary is almost always in condition, even...

The name may arouse fear, but after a few “Paradisi”, no one fears the devil! I clearly remember the first time I descended this itinerary with Andreas Sarchi, whilst training to become a Mountain Guide. When we reached the col...

Passo del Dito is one of the most desired off-piste itineraries in the Alps, a descent for many but nevertheless not for everyone. The +50° upper section is no wider than two meters across and this is best descended with...

Petri Heil is a beautiful rock climb up excellent rock in an amazing setting. The route climbs close to the famous Demuthkante up the lefthand side of the North Face of Cima Ovest di Lavaredo.

Piccolo Diavolo was bolted in 2011 during three days and breaches excellent rock. Six long pitches climb the full height of the South Face of Colodri, with difficulties up to 8a past obligatory 7a climbing. The first pitches are a...

A beautiful, steep and demanding gully which is surprisingly skiable and cuts down the West Face of Piccolo Lagazuoi, to the left of the Trapezio and directly down to Forte Tre Sassi. By descending behind the fort and crossing the ...

Great route on the right arête of north-east face of Cima Tosa. The climb has three distinct sections: the starting chimney (often wet), the gray central pillar and the wonderful and vertical final pitches that breach the overhangs and lead...

Beautiful and difficult 4-pitch route established and freed by Maurizio 'Manolo' Zanolla up the side of the large central corner at Tognazza (Passo Rolle, Dolomites).

Prati di Camera is an easy itinerary in a wonderful environment that often offers great snow and is ideal for anyone who is beginning to ski off-piste. This itinerary is very different from others described in this guide book since...

Great route first ascended by Christoph Hainz and Kurt Astner in August 2009, then freed by the duo in July 2010. The route follows an obvious and exposed line to the left of the Spigolo Scoiattoli arête and offers, according...

PukaNaka starts about 5 meters right of Gratta e Vinci, put up in 2012 by Christoph Hainz and Simon Kehrer. The wall faces south-west, is ideal therefore for spring or autumn. The line climbs past rock which is friable at...

The "Queen of the Dolomites", rising gracefully up from the Fedaia Pass, impressively dominates above all the other mountains in the eastern Alps.Its sunny South Face is a climbers paradise and its shadowy North Face is a dream for those...

Grandiose and demanding ski mountaineering itinerary, comparable to Punta Oberettes. The descent is less demanding than the ascent as it is less continuous.

Splendid itinerary which often offers good powder snow even late in the season. Combined with the descent into Valle delle Frane this becomes a truly superb outing. Can also be combined with Palla Bianca in a single day.

Another interesting route through the Pinalto valley, slightly more demanding than Cima Croda Grigia.

Rapunzel climbs an ephemeral line of ice located on the left side the Sass de la Crusc / Heiligkreuzkofel bastion.The first two pitches had been attempted by Manuel Baumgartner with his cousin Martin in winter 2018, but due to poor...
