Description

The Dolomites are a rock climbing paradise. And within this majestic mountain range, one peak stands out in particular: Becco di Mezzodi (2,603m).

Allow one of our certified guides to lead you on this fantastic 1-day rock climbing adventure to reach its summit via the normal route.

Becco di Mezzodi is a magnificent mountain located right above the Cortina d’Ampezzo, in the town of Belluno, Italy. This italian colossus has been immortalized in countless images and photographs. Even Faulkner wrote about it, for its unique shape and incomparable beauty.

Moreover, it lies in the Central Dolomites. Thus, once we reach its summit, we’ll be able to get the absolutely most breathtaking views of this mountain range.

Also, something really special happens around here. At midday in Cortina, the sun peaks right from above Becco di Mezzodi, irradiating everything with warmth. So locals call it “Midday Peak”.

The route to its summit normally begins at the Croda da Lago Refuge, near Cortina. Due to its unique location and geology, this place offers dazzling sceneries hard to compare. For instance, there is a fir forest at the entrance, leading into alpine meadows, and the stunning Lake Federa.

Our journey will be scenic, short and pleasant. As it does not require any technical knowledge. But, there are areas with some difficulty, ranging from II to III +. Then, the journey to the top will take around 3 hours, plus a couple more for the descent.

So, if you are up for this mountaineering adventure in Becco di Mezzodi, just send us a request. Let one of our guides take you to the summit of this impressive mountain.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
