Tofana di Rozes Rock Climbing

A combination of dazzling beauty with the best rock quality and diverse climbing routes

Tofana di Rozes (3,225 m) is one of the three highest peaks of Tofane, a mountain group in the Italian Dolomites. It is located west of Cortina d’Ampezzo, in the province of Belluno. Most of Tofane is inside a natural park, that is why it is a very well preserved and protected area. But the biggest attraction for climbers and alpinists is the rock formations that predominate the environment: a dolomite rock type of the Upper Triassic, one of the best quality rock in the world. The access to any of the so-called ‘Three Tofanas’, can be done by via ferrata or by an excellent cable car system. There are also mountain huts where you can spend the night or meet your group to start the rock climbing trip to Tofana di Rozes. One of the best routes is through its south face, a spectacular vertical rock wall that contrasts the accessible northern slope. Here you will find the normal route, that combines pitches with solid rock, along with areas with loose rock, ideal for the most amazing scrambling. On the northern slope you can also crown the summit making a technically simple climb but, due to the altitude, it can be a bit risky and tiring especially if there is snow or ice.

Explore Share is really a fantastic platform. I'm a first-time user and I was very happy with my experience. It was helpful to chat with Renato briefly before completing my booking so that we could narrow down the right dates. Renato personally was a fantastic guide with unmatched experience. I'll definitely be using this service again.

My brother and I did our first multi pitch climbs with Etienne in the valley near Arco. We had a great time on the rocks, we always felt secured and learned a lot too. Etienne knows the area very well and picked a pitch with a great view. Would recommend to any beginner climbers who want to challenge themselves.

Its important to look at reviews of each guide to choose the best experience. Look no further. Etienne Bernard is flexible, safe, personable, proactive, and HIGHLY experienced. Although it was snowy and frigid, Etienne helped me persevere up the a 600' climb. He was very encouraging, I never felt unsafe, and I fully recommend his guiding services. I hope everyone looking to climb, ski, or hike in the Dolomites, Italy is able to having Etienne as their guide.
