Cima Falkner

Cima Falkner is a 2,988-meter (9,803-foot) summit in the Brenta Group with steep rock walls on its sides. The sharp angles and exposed faces create a challenging climbing destination.

This peak became known to climbers through the development of mountaineering routes in the Southern Rhaetian Alps during the alpine exploration era. Route development in this area unfolded gradually as more climbers tested different pathways.

The mountain sits within a region where climbing traditions run deep among local guides and mountaineers who work the area regularly. You can sense this heritage through conversations with people who know these peaks well.

The climb requires proper mountaineering equipment and solid climbing skills to handle the exposed sections safely. Planning ahead and ensuring you have experience with similar terrain helps make the visit successful.

The peak provides access to a protected climbing route with bolts and cables that guide you across the rock face. This style of climbing sits between basic mountaineering and pure rock climbing.
