Climbing the Fensterlturm Südkante (Südgrat Torre Finestra) is a classic alpine rock climb of moderate difficulty. Rated at 4- (UIAA), it offers a satisfying introduction to multi-pitch climbing in a stunning alpine setting. The route follows the obvious south ridge of the Fensterlturm, characterized by solid rock, exposed sections, and enjoyable climbing moves. While the grade is relatively low, the alpine nature of the climb demands good route-finding skills, solid belay techniques, and awareness of potential hazards such as loose rock, changing weather conditions, and altitude. The summit provides breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, making the effort well worthwhile. Gear for a typical alpine rock climb is necessary, including a rope (usually 60m), a set of quickdraws, a selection of cams and nuts, helmet, and appropriate alpine clothing. Be sure to check the current conditions and weather forecast before heading out, and consider hiring a local guide if you lack experience in alpine climbing.
