This programme is dedicated to those who want to meet the Dolomites in winter by ascending the most beautiful ice falls. We propose a nomadic tour on the falls of medium difficulty (grade IV) which you can modify as you wish choosing also the ascents of superior difficulty. If you have never tried the ice climbing or you don’t have crapons and ice axles, don’t you worry, we supply all equipment! You need just some rock climbing experience. In this case we begin the first day with a base course on the easy Sottoguda falls (Marmolada) and then continue on the ice falls that are suitable for you.
