Vajolet Towers

The Vajolet Towers are a formation of six rock peaks located around 2821 meters high within the Rosengarten mountain group, split between northern and southern sections. These peaks feature distinctive dolomite rock formations that create numerous climbing routes of varying difficulty.

These rock towers originated during the Triassic period when ancient coral reefs transformed into steep dolomite rock faces through tectonic shifts and weathering over millions of years. The geological processes shaped the distinctive rock structures visible today.

These towers have drawn climbers from around the world for generations, each seeking to test their skills on the various routes that crisscross the rock faces. For many mountaineers, conquering one of these peaks holds deep personal meaning in their climbing journey.

Several routes lead to these peaks, including paths from Malga Frommer Alm or via the König Laurin chairlift to Rifugio Fronza. Route selection depends on climbing experience and fitness level, with proper mountaineering gear essential for safety.

The three southern towers stand out for superior rock quality that appeals especially to technical climbers seeking reliable stone formations. Experienced alpinists return to these sections for their predictable climbing conditions.
