Drei Zinnen - ultimate dolomite adventure

Climb the most famous peaks of the Dolomites in a great adventure!

Climb all the peaks of Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Climb on three impressive rock towers.
Guided by a UIAGM mountain guide specialized in rock climbing.
Enjoy impressive routes at a unique location!

The Three Peaks, or Tre Cime di Lavaredo in Italian, are an independent mountain massif consisting of three impressive rock towers. These peaks in the Sexten Dolomites feature imposing north faces with numerous difficult routes, as well as normal routes and other ascents. These are typically achievable objectives for the average climber.


During the middle of summer, there is usually no trace of snow left, but nevertheless, the Tre Cime reach an impressive height of 2,999 meters (Cima Grande - the Great and Western Peak). This means that you are standing on a 2,000-meter peak but breathing the air as if you were on a 3,000-meter peak!


We will plan your stay according to your wishes. With Rifugio Auronzo, Lavaredo, Locatelli, and Malga Langalm, we have a variety of mountain hut options. It is also possible to stay in a beautiful hotel in Cortina d'Ampezzo, at a campsite, or even in your van in the parking lot of the Three Peaks. Once we know what you're looking for, we'll gladly organize it.


The suggested itinerary below is an example of what your adventure could look like. After a day of getting to know each other and preparing for the rock climbing tours, we will ascend routes on each of the Three Peaks in the following days.

At each of the Tre Cime, we have many choices:

For newcomers to the alpine world, there are normal routes of moderate difficulty.

If you already have experience in rock climbing, you can follow in the footsteps of well-known climbers like Dibona, Innerkofler, and Preuss and tackle routes of a higher difficulty level.

If you are an experienced climber, we can see if we can include a climbing tour of a higher difficulty level here and there. For example, the famous Dülfer-Verschneidung V+ or the Demuth V.

If you climb at an advanced level, we can consider the great classics on the peaks. Once again, famous names come up: Cassin, Yellow Edge, Comici...


The selection of routes and the overall course of your adventure will, of course, be tailored to your individual wishes and abilities, as well as the (weather) conditions.


Due to the length of the routes on the rock towers and the alpine nature of the climbs, the guidance of a professional mountain guide is required to ascend these peaks. For your safety on these alpine walls, our guides accompany a maximum of two people on this adventure. If you wish to travel with more people, the cost will be slightly cheaper as we will only require an additional guide from the second day onwards.


Furthermore, we only employ guides with extensive experience in the Dolomites for these rock climbing adventures.

In addition to the Three Peaks, we also offer ascents in other massifs of the Dolomites: Marmolada, Langkofel, Sella, Puez, etc.

At the entrance of the Höhlensteindal lies the Lago di Landro lake. Here at the Ristorante, you will meet your guide. Together, we go over and prepare for the program for the next days. Ofwel oefenen we het rotsklimmen en de bijkomende vaardigheden, zoals rapellen en zekeren, in een van de sportklimgebieden in de directe omgeving. Of we starten meteen met een kleine alpiene route om te acclimatiseren. Eventueel ontmoeten we elkaar hiervoor ergens anders. Bijvoorbeeld aan het Lago Atorno meer. Op een 45 minuten wandelen ligt de Fonda Savio hut met heel wat mogelijkheden om al een alpiene route te doen!

On the agenda is the smallest of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo: the little Zinne. We can climb it via several beautiful routes: The Normalweg or standard route is the easiest one with a section rated IV+, otherwise IV- (and often easier), and it has a length of 420m. The "Innerkofler-Witzeman-Helversen Weg" is a slightly more difficult, longer, and superb alternative to the normal route, rated IV+, and it's 450m long. Gelbe Kante is a truly challenging piece of climbing, rated VI- A0 (VI+), 350m. The descent is via the normal route. If you prefer to follow in the footsteps of the renowned classic climber Paul Preuss, we can also climb the Preußturm. This tower stands next to the Little Zinne, but its ascent is equally rewarding. Here, we have the Preußriss IV+ 250m or the Kleine Comici with VI- A0 (VII-), 300m, as possible options.
Day 3 - Große Zinne 2999m

Today, halfway through our joint adventure, we will climb the middle peak of the Zinnen. The Cima Grande or Große Zinne also offers a wide range of climbing possibilities. Almost all routes on these rock towers are highly popular, which is why we are starting early today. We want to be among the first ones at the base or the starting point. Here are some options for today: Normalweg/Normaalroute, two pitches IV-, 650m. Dibona-Kante 650m, IV+, a super beautiful and impressive route following the Oostrichel of the Große Zinne. Dülfer-Verschneidung V+, 250m. This classic route is rarely dry but with its several rope lengths long "chimney," it is a very impressive climb. Comici-Dimai-Führe 505m, V+A0 (VII). This is one of the most famous routes for motivated climbers. An extraordinary classic that should be on everyone's list.
Day 4 - Westliche Zinne 2999m

Depending on your preferences, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy peacefully, or would you rather opt for another challenging hike? Equally high as its neighbor, the Cima Grande, the Westliche Zinne is still an oasis of tranquility: an ideal conclusion to this adventure! Normal route III+, 600m - Demuth Kante V+ A0 (VII), 630m Gretaline V, 17 rope lengths Cassin, VI+ A0 (VIII) The descent is via the normal route. At the parking lot or over a cup of coffee in the Auronzo hut, we bid farewell to our guide.
