Climbing in the 3 Zinnen Dolomites region

With its imposing rock formations, spectacular via ferratas and sweeping views, the 3 Zinnen Dolomites region stands out as one of the premier climbing destinations in the Alps. It’s no surprise that legendary alpinists have long been drawn to the steep rock faces of the Three Peaks, forging increasingly demanding routes to the region’s summits.

Whether you're inspired to follow in the footsteps of these trailblazers and test your own limits or prefer to choose from the many climbing crags: a vertical adventure in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site promises awe-inspiring views and memorable mountain moments.

Varied routes for every skill level

Best time: May to October

Adventures between rock and sky

Imagine feeling the cool rock under your fingertips as the morning’s first sunlight breaks across the peaks in the 3 Zinnen Dolomites region. No wonder many sport climbers prefer to start their day early! It’s a time when the atmosphere is especially serene, each pitch climbed revealing more of the landscape’s quiet grandeur.

The Dolomites continue to captivate the climbing community with their remarkable variety – from demanding sport climbing routes on rugged rocks to beginner-friendly options for those just starting out. With countless crags to choose from, it’s the perfect terrain to refine both technique and endurance.
