Description:

The region of the Dolomites, in the Eastern Alps, covers a vast area of about 80km between Austria and Italy. It is very different from the rest of the Alps; it is distinguishable because of its numerous, vertical and isolated massifs that stand above the wide valleys covered with forests and meadows. These massifs are formed by a rock very similar to the limestone called "dolomite" (its name is due to the French geologist who studied it: Déodat de Dolomieu). The varied and irregular shapes that are created are due to erosion and make these massifs fascinating for every climber regardless their place of origin.

The climbing routes that can be accomplished are countless, as well as their variety of difficulty and style. The routes in this program are classic routes of great attractiveness, beauty, enjoyment and satisfaction. What really makes this scenario so special is the combination of extraordinary climbing, dreamlike landscapes, endless knowledge of the environment in the area, mountain huts with the best services, trails that take us without effort to the foot of the climbing walls, summarizing, a real paradise.
