Among the many rock formations in the Dolomites, the Vajolet Towers are probably the most spectacular. If you are in the area then you should definitely stop by here. See if you can see all six towers. It's not that easy at all;)

They are known as climbing mountains. Some of the routes are among the best-known routes of medium difficulty in the entire Alps and are accordingly well attended in the season, especially since the ascent from the Gartlhütte is very short, e.g. B. approx. 15 minutes to the Delago tower.
In front of the southern towers is the Piaz Tower (Torre Piaz, 2670 m s.l.m.), which rises only about 40 m and was first climbed by Tita Piaz on September 2, 1899 (IV +).
Tita Piaz, who was too late to get involved in the first ascent of the towers, left a huge number of new routes on all towers in the years that followed. On August 9, 1911, together with Francesco Jori and Irma Glaser, he opened the south-west edge of the Delagoturm (IV, IV and III), which, as “Delagokante”, with its straight and exposed edge climbing, has become one of the most popular routes in the Alps.
