From here, descend to the Rotwand hut. This is a very special climbing path, which is worth trying.

Climbing gardens

Climbing garden "Nigerstraße"

At the Karer Pass, you can find a beautiful climbing garden, which is situated just below the Nigerstrasse. There are different routes with different grades of difficulty in order to prepare yourself for demanding mountain tours.

The stony city

Just below the Langkofel mountain at the Sella Pass is a climbing garden with breath-taking views. Surrounded by the Dolomite mountains, insiders know the stony city mostly as a boulder area. From Welschnofen via the Karer Pass into the Fassa Valley, always follow the Dolomite Road, and then head in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. After half an hour, you will reach the Sellajoch! Good luck!
