Monte Pelmo and Antelao

MOUNT PELMO: THE "CAREGA DEL PADRETERNO"

Majestic, isolated, unmistakable: Mount Pelmo (3,168 m) stands like a throne in the sky. Locals call it the Carega del Padreterno, the chair of God, for its regal and solemn shape.
Climbing to the Rifugio Venezia, at the foot of the south face, is an experience that remains in the heart.
From there, unparalleled views open up of the Civetta, the Bosconero mountain range, and Antelao itself. More experienced climbers can tackle the Pelmo tour, a spectacular loop that embraces the mountain, passing through pastures, rocks, and thrilling passages such as the Rutorto Pass and the famous equipped section of the Cenge.
But there is something even more ancient: the dinosaur footprints, imprinted in the rock at over 2,000 meters above sea level. A place suspended in time, where you literally walk on the Earth's past.

Antelao: THE KING OF THE DOLOMITES

At 3,264 meters, Antelao is the highest peak in the eastern Dolomites, nicknamed the "King." Elegant and slender, it dominates the valley with austerity and wild beauty. The ideal starting point for exploring it is San Vito di Cadore or Vodo, from which numerous trails lead to the southern slope. The Galassi Refuge, at the foot of the final ridge, is a must-see for those dreaming of the high mountains.
The view from up there is dizzying, a succession of pinnacles and ridges that seem to touch the sky. But Antelao is not just for mountaineers: even the lower trails offer spectacular views, such as those through the Val d'Oten or Pian de Ciauta, ideal for more leisurely walks among mountain pastures, waterfalls, and the scent of wet grass.
