Dolomites

The Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a spectacular range of long, challenging, limestone peaks that will keep you buzzing for days. The mountain range offers not only some extreme, big wall routes for advanced climbers, but also extensive beginner routes for an enjoyable experience of height and exposure.

The mountain ranges here have been voted some of the best in the world for their easy access, and the ability to summit these spectacular routes within one day without having to camp on the rock or in a mountain hut. Instead, you can start early and then finish before evening to look back and see the monster that you've climbed.

The Dolomites are also famous for their long, technical via ferrata routes which take you on a exciting adventure every time. Magnificent scenery will accompany you through, for example, swinging bridges and small, exposed ladders. A via ferreta is a great way to go and have some fun as a group - and make the most of some fantastic photo opportunities.

Look below for upcoming holidays and courses in the Dolomites.

Weather & Climate

As part of the Alps you can expect cold and rainy winters. However, during the summer months, this is the ideal location to climb with a t-shirt on in hot and sunny crags with cool breezes blowing though the valleys.

Accommodation

You will be based in San Cassiano in the Alta Badia valley. You will be staying in self-catering apartments but there are plenty of places that you can get provisions in order to cook and make packed lunches. Alternatively there are places to go out for drinks and also some amazing restaurants to sample some of the fine Italian cuisine. 

When to Go

The best time is between July and September, to get the warm weather. Remember this is still the Alpes so climate can be a little unpredictable and it's worth coming prepared with waterproofs. 

One week (7nights): holidays and course depart on Saturdays or Sundays

Long weekends (3 nights): Friday - Monday inclusive
