South Tyrol is an attractive country for active vacationers. Sometimes, especially at the beginning of the winter season, the conditions are not ideal for ski tours. However, due to constantly low temperatures, many waterfalls are frozen – transformed into magnificent columns of ice- this is where the ice climbing adventure begins! Certainly an outstanding experience.
Regardless of the impressive pictures of frozen cascades you may have seen, ice climbing does not always take place on hair-raisingly thin waterfalls. Especially at the beginning of your icefall experience, you should climb in toprope style. The climbing rope from above conveys a sense of safety and allows a gentle approach to this facinating winter activity. However, it can also be a good opportunity to improve and learn new tricks and techniques on ice.
