SPORT CLIMBING AND THE ROCK FACES OF THE VAL DEL BIOIS AND AGORDINO AREAS
Rock faces to enjoy, in various points of the Agordino area!
A lively account of the history of sport climbing in our area can be found in the guide to the Rock Faces in the Agordino area, the source of this brief list of perhaps the best known and most easily reachable facilities.
This guide is a must for both expert climbers and those seeking to approach the discipline, and it is highly recommended for detailed information on the whole area, including the exact locations and difficulty levels, skilfully described by the members of the association La Rivolta Climb A. S. D. for fans of climbing, mountaineering and activities closely related with the mountains. The association is made up of climbing enthusiasts, most of them local.
To find out more, you can contact Dolomiti Guides.
Below is a list of a number of rock faces in the area, offering adrenalin-packed experiences for both beginners and more expert climbers!
