Multi-pitch climbing in the Ortles-Cevedale range.

is a great base where you can stay several days and enjoy the climbing and a new via ferrata. Amazing food, warm hospitality and hot showers. It’s a 45 minute walk from the car park or a 5 minute ride by jeep.

We had so much fun skiing last Winter and Spring in the Alps. It’s about time I start to share some of the footage. This is my backyard in Passo Tonale, a great week with .tindal and friends. We got a dump of snow on day1 which gave us great conditions for the following 5 days. Here .olsen_ enjoying the powder even more with a not perfect landing 😂

As summer approaches, I’ll be sharing classic Brenta Dolomite rock routes to get you inspired for summer.

Neverland, Corna Rossa, IV UIAA

A spectacular, aesthetic arete - the perfect introduction to Dolomite trad climbing.
Neverland, on the south face of the 200m-high Corna Rossa (Red Horn) cliff, is six pitches of moderate climbing, with bolted belays and the odd peg to send you off in the right direction.

It’s the ideal place to get used to this limestone and practice stress-free gear placements. The fifth pitch is a spectacular, smooth-looking vertical wall. But don’t panic: a few pitons point you in the right direction, the climbing flows and friendly holds soon materialise.

There are dozens of other great routes on the Corna Rossa cliff, both trad and sport. The next in difficulty for trad are Nella-Detassis and Detassis-Vidi.

Stay at Rifugio Giorgio Graffer, ideal base for the Corna Rossa climbs

Have you ever asked yourself what climbing on the moon could be like? Here you will find the answer. This 7 pitch climb on the first tower at the Mompellato crag in Western Piemonte has some amazing moon like rock that just wants to be climbed 😊

Today we are in Val Grande di Lanzo. This valley is just South of Valle Orco and only 50km from Torino. We climbed an 8 pitch route on Rocca di Lities, just above the little mountain hamlet of Lities (1200m). The rock here is Prasinite, a sandstone full of features: cracks, dihedrals, crimps, and an amazing 25 metre layback pitch on a flake. No crowds, the sound of mountain streams and of cow bells, great rock and awesome views.

Exploring multi-pitch climbing gems off the beaten track in Italy. Welcome to Traverselle, a small town in Valchiusella, Piemonte. There are hundreds of routes, single and multi-pitch. The rock is an amazing gneiss granitoide. We stayed at , 30 minutes walk from the car park in Traverselle. The hospitality and the food at the hut where 5 stars. I think I had one of the best meals in over 30 years of staying in huts, and I’ve been to quite a few!

This is pitch 5 of the classic Locatelli route.
