Ice climbing in the Dolomites

Experience the thrill of climbing an icefall with a Mountain Guide

Do you dream of climbing ice falls surrounded by the most iconic walls of the Dolomites? With an expert mountain guide, you can experience the thrill of ice climbing in complete safety, discovering a vertical world where the silence of winter meets pure adventure. Throughout the winter season, the Dolomites offer ideal conditions for ice climbing, thanks to the numerous waterfalls and ice flows that form in the valleys and along the walls. From the most accessible waterfalls, perfect for those who want to try this discipline for the first time, to technical and challenging routes that will test even the most experienced climbers.

What level do you need to climb on ice?

Contrary to what some people think, ice climbing is not simply "climbing with crampons" but depends greatly on the condition of the ice. In conditions where the ice is plastic and well formed, it is relatively accessible, but conditions can change during the day, with temperatures, sun exposure, or the time of year. Easy waterfalls are accessible to everyone, but it is still necessary to be in reasonably good physical shape, do other sports, or go to the gym, as a fair amount of physical strength is required.

What are the most famous waterfalls in the Dolomites?

Among the most famous waterfalls in the Dolomites, which are also accessible to beginners, are the Armentarola waterfalls, the Colfosco waterfalls, the Serrai di Sottoguda waterfalls, and the Fontanazzo waterfalls in Val di Fassa.
