Where to find easy multipitch routes in the Dolomites
Are you planning your first climb in the Dolomites? Are you looking for an easy route to test your skills on? Surely, it would be a great choice to start on an easy route to get accustomed to the rock and the alpine climbing style. Sella Towers are a great choice if you are looking for multipitch routes for beginners!
Torri del Sella
Torri del Sella, or Sella Towers, are five summits in the Sella group in South Tyrol, in the Dolomites. They are easily accessible from the Sella Pass, which is a beautiful high mountain pass that connects Val di Fassa and Val Gardena. The road itself is worth a visit! The scenery as you drive the windy road is stunning. The towers are well known by climbers as they offer climbing for everyone, and they are often the setting for climbing schools taking climbers on their first ascents. In addition, the short approach also makes them a great choice for a fantastic day of alpine climbing. While there is a wide variety of options to choose from, we climbed and recommend an easy route on the first tower.

Spigolo Steger, Prima Torre del Sella
Spigolo Steger is one of the easiest alpine routes on the First Tower. The First Tower is the furthest south and closest to the road. In fact you can reach them in approximately 20 minutes from the Sella Pass. Specifically there are more than 15 routes that reach its summit. But one of the most famous ones is Spigolo Steger. It follows the western ridge of the tower and the grade is IV+. Incredibly, this route was first climbed in 1928! It is a classic alpine route, meaning there are not many bolts along the line, but there are fixed anchors. Finally, the rock might be slightly polished in some points.
