In the "most beautiful mountains in the world," a UNESCO World Heritage Site located between the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, and Friuli, there are hundreds of equipped sport climbing sites, and it is 105 proposals that we have selected for you in this volume, the first and only book describing the Dolomites in their entire territorial scope.
From Val Gardena to Cortina d'Ampezzo, passing through Val Badia and the upper part of Val Pusteria, from the valleys of Fiemme and Fassa to the Dolomites of Friuli and Agordo, from Primiero to Cadore, the vast selection described by the author has made it possible to choose the most rewarding rock faces from a tourist perspective, as well as some lesser-known hidden gems: a guide for travelling climbers but also for those who live in the Dolomites and climb year-round.
Sport climbing is the best way to start enjoying the rock faces of the Dolomites and to gain a certain degree of confidence in climbing them. Not necessarily, but if in a short time you find yourself hanging hundreds of metres above the ground on an immense rock face, don't be surprised — there is only one step from the crag to the big route.
