Below is a collection of the most famous multi-pitch routes of the amphitheater surrounding Rifugio Vazzoler. 

EX VIA TISSI – TORRE VENEZIA – COLLAPSED

The most iconic route to Torre Venezia is unfortunately no longer feasible due to several collapses that occurred between 2019 and 2020. 

VIA ANDRICH – TORRE VENEZIA

The Andrich-Faè route is a climbing route of significant historical value. Opened by two great mountaineers, it is one of the most repeated routes on Torre Venezia, thanks to its beauty and sustained difficulty. 

Maximum difficulty: V+

VIA CASTIGLIONI – TORRE VENEZIA

Established by Ettore Castiglioni with Giorgio Kahn in 1937, the route is known for its final chimney, reminiscent of a bygone era of climbing. Due to frequent wet conditions, it is recommended to exit onto the Livanos route.

Maximum difficulty: V-

VIA DA ROIT – PUNTA AGORDO

A beautiful route on excellent and easily protectable rock, opened by A. Da Roit in 1941. While not very continuous, it is certainly an excellent and easy alternative to the Castiglioni route on Torre Venezia. 

Maximum difficulty: V

VIA SOLDA’ – TORRE DI BABELE

Opened by Gino and Italo Soldà in 1937 on excellent rock. Very exposed and not always straightforward. Excellent rock quality. Upon reaching the rappels, it is possible to continue to the summit, although it is not recommended as the rock becomes friable and difficult to protect.

Maximum difficulty: VI-

VIA RATTI – TORRE VENEZIA

Established in 1936, this route is one of the most frequently climbed on Torre Venezia. The rock quality is consistently excellent. The first pitch is shared with the Via Andrich, then it moves to the right. Slightly more challenging, less bolted, more discontinuous, and sunnier compared to the nearby Andrich route. 

Maximum difficulty: V+

VIA CASSIN/RATTI – TORRE TRIESTE

Opened in 1935 by Riccardo Cassin and Vittorio Ratti, this route offers another classic option on Torre Trieste. The pitches are generally easier but more consistent than the adjacent Carlesso route. The rock is somewhat friable, especially in the initial part, but has been cleaned through frequent repetitions.

Maximum difficulty: VIII- (A1)

VIA CARLESSO/SANDRI – TORRE TRIESTE

Opened in 1934 by Raffaele Carlesso and Bortoldo Sandri, this route is the first ascent on the majestic south face. A classic of significant historical importance.  

Maximum difficulty: VIII- (A1)
