The Campanile di Val Montanaia is an intimidating 300 meter stone spire. And scaling it to the top is an achievement you will not soon forget.
In order to reach this great tower, you must drive for just under two hours from Cortina to the Cimoliana valley. At that point you can reach the trail head from the Rifugio Pordenone. And finally, you will have to hike for approximately 1.5 hours to the base of the tower. But once you get there, the sight of the Campanile di Val Montanaia will be well worth it.
We will scale this impressive spire by way of the normal route. There are several difficult spots you will have to maneuver around to the reach the top. Those spots include a 5 meters, V/5.6 graded Cozzi Crack and the 5-6 meters, IV/5.5 graded Von Glanvell Chimney. Both of these spots require strength and technique. However, we will make sure you are safely guided throughout the fairly rapid, 9 pitch ascent. And once you reach the top you will get to see a special bell before descending by way of several abseils.
An absolutely iconic spire in the Dolomites of Italy, the Campanile di Val Montanaia is a must climb for enthusiastic rock climbers. So send us a request and come and test yourself against this great tower. You’ll have a great time.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
