WHY THIS CLIMB

The Presolana west-east traverse

The three summits of the Presolana, in a single day.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

The full traverse of the Presolana, west to east, links its three main summits in one day — West, Central and East — along a spectacular crest suspended between sky and rock. It is one of the finest and most technical stretches in the whole Orobie range: a constant up and down between exposed passages, rock walls and viewpoints opening onto the Scalve and Seriana valleys. A legendary route on a landmark mountain.

5 reasons to come - the three Presolana summits in a single traverse - a crest suspended between sky and rock - the most technical stretch in the Orobie range - the view over the Scalve and Seriana valleys - a legendary route, the kind people talk about

Who it suits A technical traverse with exposed passages and climbing: mountaineering experience, proper equipment and a head for heights are needed.

An experience that stays with you for good: come and live it with the Guidders.
