Definitely buys ropes over there. Arco is a great place for gear and an amazing place to climb. Do shop around when you get to Arco to get the best price. Its not a big place.

Buying ropes over there will see you get back on the plane to return home without much hassle, however leaving Aust' might see you pay more in lugage costs. I guess it depends who you are flying with.! A bit more freedom to move easier while you get your bearings is always good. Then post them home after you finished. We posted gear and it didnt take long at all.

I meant to say earlier , that renting a car is the best way to go. Not only is it probably cheaper, but getting around the dolomites is a dam site easier. I say cheaper if you are over 25years old, the train tickets for over 25 are expensive.

You may be able to join the Austrian Alpine club, if you can post the membership to someone you know in Austria, or join the NZ Alpine club. You will get discounts in the rufigos with it.
