Fixed rope routes in South Tyrol

On the Innerkofler  on the Paternkofel

You know the postcard motif with the Three Peaks north walls? Yes? And you know from where the photo was shot, and still is? From Paternkofel, the neighboring mountains of the Three Peaks, 2744 meters high, spectacular and easy to climb.

In the 1st World War the Paternkofel  was hard fought over, as many Dolomites mountains hard. Also todaday the Italians and Austrians  front lines are witnessed by numerous tunnels and walkways.

Here we described a climbing path that follows the tunnels  of the 1st World War and that give fabulous views of the Three Peaks.

The Innerkofler fixed rope route

 The hike starts at Auronzo Refuge , reaching by car. After the refuge you have to take a tunnel, of about 600m long. You need a light. From here you go steeply to the summit: the views of the Three Peaks and the surrounding mountain is fantastic!
