Description

The Vajolet towers are one of the most famous rock formation in the Dolomites and have become an iconic symbol for climbing in the region. The true cause for their fame becomes immediately apparent when first stepping on to the arete of the classic Piaz Arete/Delagokante. The ground suddenly plunges down some 500m to the valley bottom giving astonishing exposure. This makes it one of the most celebrated climbs in the area and a rite of passage for many visiting the Dolomites. During high season it is not uncommon for every stance of the Piaz Arete to be occupied! Thus an early start (from the rifugio if possible) is highly recommended.
