Restricted Access

The Gorge is currently out of bounds officially since storm Vaia in October 2018 destroyed the road through the gorge. You can gain access from Malga Ciapela  but this is neither legal nor without danger.

The Sottoguda gorge is easily accessible. From Belluno drive up the Cordevole valley past Agordo, Alleghe and Caprile and continue as for Passo Fedaia. Before reaching Malga Ciapela turn off the main road and enter into Sottoguda. Drive through this village to where the road ends at the beginning of the gorge. Continue on foot to arrive swiftly at the base of the first waterfalls.

100m, 2 pitches. After crossing the stream and heading up the initial often pocketed ice fall, the first bolted belay is located inside an obvious ice cave (40m) where there are some bolts. From there, step out right and up the curtain to a second bolted rock belay with climbing to 90 degrees.
