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.

110m, 3 pitches. This is without doubt the show stopper of the valley with an awesome line and sports sustained and excellent climbing. The first 45 m pitch can be taken either to the left or to the right depending on conditions - the left forms earlier in the season. Either way, climb to a shelf where on the left hand side you will find a bolted belay. 85-90 deg ice.
Next climb a shorter easier wall to a second shelf where again there is a belay to the left or if this is buried a tree belay.
The final pitch is again steep and long with climbing to 85 degs and 40m.
