Overview
The Dolomites are the largest and most spectacular limestone climbing area in the European Alps with towers rising steeply up to 1,600 meters (5,250 ft) above gentle alpine meadows. There is an abundance of moderate, classic rock climbing routes, mostly involving fairly short approach hikes from the road or following an overnight in one of the full-service huts or mountain lodges. The culture and food in the Dolomites are a mixture of Italian and Tyrolean, the wine is always good, and the locals are very welcoming. The length of the climbs relative to their approach time means that the Dolomites offer some of the best value you can get worldwide. Some climbs are very popular and others see less than one ascent per year. Our base camp will be the Walden Climbing House, a b&b run by our mountain guide from which there are breathtaking views of Mt. Civetta.

Schedule
Given the abundance of climbs in the Dolomites, we can adjust the itinerary during our climbing week to the preferred challenge level of our clients and the weather. The climbing program is decided on a daily basis based on technique and experience. We are going to leave (early) in the morning (depending on weather conditions) and come back in the afternoon. Lunch will be a snack while climbing. We are going to have a great dinner at Walden Climbing House or at some restaurants depending on your preference.

The angel of the Dolomites
"On the mountains we feel the joy of life, the emotion of being good and the relief of forgetting earthly things: all this because we are closer to the sky". E. Comici
E. Comici made numerous ascents in the Eastern Alps, particularly in the Dolomites (where he made over 200 first ascents during his career) and in the Julian Alps.
Comici was nicknamed the "Angel of the Dolomites".
During the week we can repeat some of his most famous routes and discover his epic deeds.

Climbing Skills
There is no minimum level required for this trip as you will be accompanied at all times by a certified guide. However, due to the nature of Sardinia's crags, you will get the most out of the trip if you already have a little climbing experience and good level of fitness! On average there are from 8 to 15 metres of powder snow. The mountains are not high, between 1200 and 2200 m, but you ski from altitudes as low as 300-400 m, often a short distance from the sea! Welcome to the ski capital of Japan! At the end of the day, for those who wish, the legendary onsen and hot spring water pools in the best Japanese tradition are available on-site :)
