The Vajolet Towers in the Dolomites are a breathtaking and otherworldly destination for adventure seekers. Rising from the Catinaccio mountain group, these towering spires offer incredible hiking opportunities with stunning landscapes and dramatic scenery. Whether you choose to take the exhilarating Via Ferrata Passo Santner route or the easier trail from Malga Frommer Alm, the hike promises exciting challenges and rewarding views. With options to stay in mountain huts along the way, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the Vajolet Towers and create unforgettable memories. Get ready to conquer the peaks and experience the thrill of this must-see attraction in the Dolomites!

How to get there, easiest way:

From the town of Vigo Di Fassa at the bus stop named Vigo di Fassa, Funivia Catinaccio, ascend via the cable car to Ciampede. Subsequently, follow the directional signage leading initially to Rifugio Gardeccia, then to Rifugio Vajolet, and finally to Rifugio Re Alberto.

This route presents the most direct path to reach the Vajolet Towers, minimizing elevation gain. Primarily, it traces a broad gravel road.

Note: A brief scrambling section is encountered between Rifugio Vajolet and Rifugio Re Alberto, where cables have been installed along the steepest segments for assistance.
