Dritter Sellaturm – Jahn und Vinatzer
Classic alpine climbing on the Third Sella Tower – via the Jahn route or the more demanding Vinatzer route in the Sella group.
Difficulty IV or VI- (UIAA) · Sella group
There is a good reason why the Third Sella Tower is on so many climbers' wish lists. Two true classics await here: the slightly easier Jahn route and the longer, more demanding Vinatzer route on the west face. Both routes offer exactly what you hope for from a great alpine climb in the Dolomites: solid rock, airy climbing and an objective that whets your appetite for more even on the approach.
From the Sella Pass the approach is pleasantly short, so we can concentrate fully on the climbing. Depending on the route chosen, the tour is a little more relaxed or more athletic, but the character stays the same: classic alpine climbing on one of the best-known towers of the Sella group. Whether you set your sights on the Jahn route or the Vinatzer route – both lines are highly recommended and make for a thoroughly rewarding day in the mountains.

PROGRAMME
Day tour: Classic climb on the Sella Tower
We meet at the car park right on the Sella Pass. We will agree on the exact time when you book. After a short gear check we head to the start of the chosen route on the Third Sella Tower. The approach is short and pleasant, so we can get straight into the day.
On the route we take our time over the climbing and enjoy the character of this classic line in the Sella group. Of course there is also time for great photos along the way, so this climbing adventure stays with you for more than just memories. Depending on whether you choose the Jahn route or the Vinatzer route, the day will be a little more relaxed or a little more demanding, but either way a truly beautiful alpine climb awaits.
On the summit we enjoy the panorama, with the Langkofel and the Marmolada as eye-catchers, before descending via the normal route back to the car park.
Total time: 6-8 h | ↑ 450 m | ↓ 450 m | Difficulty: IV or VI- (UIAA)
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
