The Sellatürme are iconic rock formations in the heart of the Dolomites, offering ambitious climbers a truly unique adventure. Climbing the first, second, and third Sellatürme in a single day is a demanding tour that requires both technical skills and endurance. However, those who take on the challenge are rewarded with spectacular views and an unforgettable alpine experience.
The ascent usually begins at the Sella Pass, where the three distinctive towers rise prominently. The first Sellaturm (2533 m) is the easiest of the three and is often used as an introductory climb. The route takes you through steep but manageable terrain, with stunning views of the surrounding peaks of the Sella massif from the summit.
The second Sellaturm (2598 m) is technically more challenging. Climbing skills and a head for heights are especially needed here, as the route becomes steeper and includes several climbing sections. The summit offers a breathtaking view that stretches from the Dolomites to the Zillertal Alps.
The final and most rewarding ascent of the day is the third Sellaturm (2696 m), the highest of the three. The climb becomes more intense, but the panoramic view from the summit makes it all worthwhile, with stunning vistas of the Langkofel Group and the Val Gardena.
This entire tour requires good physical fitness and alpine experience, as the height and technical climbing sections demand serious effort. The reward is unforgettable scenery and the satisfaction of conquering three of the most prominent peaks in the Dolomites in a single day.
Alternatively, after consultation, climbing routes of varying difficulties can be chosen, tailored to the skills and preferences of the participants, making the experience fully customizable.
