Voies d'escalade dans les Dolomites

The 3,436 m high Hochgall is the highest peak of the Rieserferner Group and is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in the Eastern Alps. As a prominent main summit, it rises visibly above the Antholz Valley and is regarded as a high-alpine classic for experienced mountaineers. The ascent from Lake Antholz requires not only good fitness, but also alpine experience and confident climbing technique. 

In spring, the summit can traditionally still be climbed via the distinctive ice gully. From summer onwards – around July – the snowmelt, however, makes this ascent no longer possible. In close cooperation with the Mountain Guides Association of the Central/Lower Puster Valley district, an alternative route was therefore identified and opened in 2025 through targeted improvements. This has made it possible to reach the Hochgall from the Antholz Valley throughout the entire summer season. 

The tour through the hidden Col di Specie-face into the Valley of Landro offers exciting alpin-climbing. It’s possible to make the tour already early in the year because of its sunny exposition and of its low height of vertex. In the total demand the tour is comparable with the „Gelbe Kante/Spigolo Giallo“. Fort he local climbers the tour is a classic, although it doesn’t receive much attention from the externals.

The Col di Specie is located in the middle of the Dolomites - a true paradise, which is not to exceed in its uniqueness: With its alpine challenges, the varied landscape of rugged cliffs, gentle meadows and the unique flora and fauna, they are known as the eldorado for climbers.

In 2009 the Dolomites were declared UNESCO World Heritage.
