Cinque Torri climbing photos

Marvellous Cinque Torri ideally represent the entire Dolomites by their variety of shapes and sizes. The towers can be admired from the center of Cortina d'Ampezzo and have unmistakable silhouette: the characteristic profile isn't comprised of just 5 towers, but by a mass of secondary boulders, fractured towers and peaks sprinkled liberally across the entire area. These peaks are located to the west of Cortina on a grassy hillock just above the tree line at circa 2200m. In summer the ropes of alpinists intertwine with those of sport climbers who converge here to escape the summer heat and to enjoy the unique surroundings.
