SPORT CLIMBING
Many crags are equipped for sport climbing, each with different characteristics, environments and types of climbing: from the historic ones to the most recent, with short or long approaches, with overhanging or slab pitches and of various exposures and difficulties.
To get ideas for some routes, we recommend purchasing the guide “Falesie a Cortina d’Ampezzo – Klettergärten in Cortina, Sport Climbing in Cortina” edited by the Scoiattoli mountaineering group, a long-standing promoter of climbing.
