WHY THIS HIKE

The Vajolet Towers in the Catinaccio

The Vajolet Towers, and there is little to add.

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

The experience

The Vajolet Towers are one of the symbols of the Dolomites, all the more so when you are in the Val di Fassa. The Catinaccio group holds dozens of possible routes and this is among the most famous and rewarding. We start at Vigo di Fassa, by the lifts, on an easy mule track that continues to Gardeccia; from there a well-trodden path leads to the towers, seen from Rifugio Preuss.

5 reasons to come - the Vajolet Towers seen up close - Rifugio Preuss at their foot - the climb from Ciampedie, easy and panoramic - the Catinaccio group all around - the Val di Fassa, one of the finest corners of the Dolomites

Who it suits Mule track and beaten path: some fitness is needed, nothing technical.

A symbol of the Dolomites: come and see it with the Guidders.
