Climbing in Dolomiti Bellunesi and when

Dolomiti Bellunesi region is quite hidden for sport-routes. Still, it has beautiful rocks spread out by mountain valleys, next to alpine rivers and lakes, which give refreshing temperatures in the summertime. Most of the climbing sectors are next to Longarone village, and altogether there are 29 crags with all difficulties and styles. There is mainly climbing on limestone rock with greyish slabs and vertical routes, then overhanging walls on big holds and tufas, or just climbing on interesting routes with slopers and side pulls.

Walls are orientated in all directions, and the best climbing season is springtime, Autumn, and summer. The most famous sectors are Erto, Casso, Tarzan wall, Podenzoi, Ceresera, and a very nice little crag by the river is Mae, a perfect climbing spot on hot days.
