Cinque Torri, best summer climbing destination

Cinque Torri – Summer climbing holiday

This Summer we spent some time in the Dolomites and had a great chance to coach on Cinque Torri. This amazing rock formation is located at an altitude of 2137 meters with five main pillars, but mainly there are more than five towers spread out. The towers can also be reached by taxi-Neveta-black VWT5 (9€ one way), and chairlift (price is 18-24€, depending on the month) or by foot (1 hour) from the main parking. July and August are the best months for climbing there, with warm temperatures and a bit of wind, and if the sun is too strong, there are plenty of routes in the shade. The view from Cinque Torri is incredibly stunning everywhere you look.
