Nestled in the picturesque Le Laste area, the 'Via Zanetti - Due Laghi' is a true gem for climbers seeking a classic multi-pitch experience. Graded consistently at 5-/5 (UIAA V-/V), it presents a perfect balance of challenge and accessibility for those comfortable with traditional climbing. The route typically meanders up excellent dolomite rock, offering a delightful mix of slab climbing, cracks, and occasional steeper sections.

As you ascend, the views of the surrounding Dolomites become increasingly breathtaking, culminating in panoramic vistas from the top. The satisfaction of reaching the summit, after navigating its engaging pitches, is immense. The descent, often via a well-marked path or a series of abseils, brings you back to the serene landscape below, leaving you with lasting memories of a truly rewarding day on the rock. Via Zanetti - Due Laghi is more than just a climb; it's an immersive journey into the heart of Alpine tradition, highly recommended for its beauty, engaging climbing, and classic character.
