Climbing in winter in South Tyrol |
| |
| What does the mountaineer do in winter? He climbs mountains, what else! To do so, he uses special aids like snow-shoes or skis with skins and he equips himself with ice axes and climbing irons. Mountain climbing in winter is a completely different story. But incredibly exciting. As the mountain faces of the Dolomites are very steep and vertical, snow does not last long on them and that’s why it is even possible to sometimes climb some face of the Dolomites in the middle of winter. This can become a unique experience if you put yourself into the expert hands of the mountain guides of the “Catores” from Val Gardena/Gröden. You use the skis to get to the assault. If the mountain face is already warm (like under the spring sun) you climb up some pitches. Then it is time to rope up and afterwards to ski down the steep slope to the next hut. And that’s where the après-ski starts, which is a must after such an adventure! |
