Description Suggest change

Piz Ciavazes is another member of the Sella Group. This mountain is taller and much broader than any of the towers. There are a number of good-quality routes of medium-hard difficulty. The rock is mostly sound and can be polished from years of climbing in places.

Getting There Suggest change

Most of the climbing is approached from on the Sella Pass road. See the route description for more specific details.
