The Tre Cime di Lavaredo are one of the Alps’ most iconic peaks, and certainly, the most iconic peaks in the Dolomites. The Three Peaks of Lavaredo are (left to right) Cima Ovest, 2973 meters; Cima Grande, 2999 meters; Cima Piccola, 2857 meters. This is the south-facing cliff in the region of Veneto, and behind the peaks, it is the region of Trentino-Alto Adige. During World War I, fierce fighting took place in the surrounding terrain as the three peaks separated Italy, south of the peaks from the Austro-Hungarian empire. Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy.
The Marmolada, at the end of the ridge, is the highest summit of the Dolomites with an elevation of 3343 meters. In the distance, the Sassolongo Massif and the Sella Massif, both in Trentino-Alto Adige can be seen. The long aerial ridge, running west to east, served as a front line between Italy and Austria-Hungary during World War I. Marmolada and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are 2 of the 9 sites classified as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy.
The ridge of Marmolada separates the vertiginous cliff (in Veneto) and the northern glacier (in Trentino-Algo Adige). It is the only glacier in the Dolomites. With global warming, the glacier is retreating and occasionally remains or personal belongings of soldiers from the First World War are discovered. The ridge can be reached with a cable car so that tourists can easily flock to the summit and have an entire view of the Dolomites. Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy.
Monte Pelmo, here viewed from the northeast, is a massive block, very conspicuous as it is isolated from the other mountains of the Dolomites. Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy.
Monte Pelmo (elevation: 3168 meters) was first climbed in 1857 by John Ball, an Irishman. Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy.
