Activities
VIA FERRATA Technically easy but sustained
scrambles/rock climbs Protected by a system of
cables, ladders, steps and personal shock
absorbing equipment Amazing views but can be very
exposed Over 80 routes of varying difficulties
(from assisted walk to full on climbing) Great
fun )

WALKING There are a lot of very good walks
available Both low altitude and high
altitude Stunning views The option to do cable
assisted walks

ROCK CLIMBING The dolomites has some amazing
climbing We can cater to all tastes from some of
the most classic long trad routes, to bouldering
and sport climbing There is good climbing for all
abilities and lots of mixed level crags

CITY SEEING (optional) We have the option of
spending a few days in one of the nearby
cities This would depend completely on the
group Possible locations include Venice, Verona
or Milan Staying in youth hostels or nearby
campsites

Getting there
Flying The budget airlines serve Venice and
possibly Cortina Car Depending on numbers taking
cars may be an option (12 hour drive from
Calais) Mule Costs carrots, takes time but you
will appreciate the scenery more

Getting around
This all depends on numbers! If we bring our own
cars alls good in the world ) Public transport
is an option but will limit our flexibility! For
hire cars we need drivers over the age of 21
