Moiazza

Moiazza rises to 2,878 meters above sea level within the Monte Civetta mountain group, featuring steep rocky slopes and sparse alpine vegetation characteristic of high-altitude Dolomite peaks.

The mountain has served as a navigational landmark for local shepherds and travelers for centuries, with archaeological evidence showing early pastoral activity in the surrounding alpine valleys.

Local communities celebrate alpine traditions through mountain festivals featuring traditional music, dance, and cuisine, with folklore stories recounting legends of mountain spirits and early explorers who first climbed these peaks.

Access to Moiazza typically begins from nearby village trailheads, with proper mountaineering equipment including crampons and ice axes recommended for winter ascents and sturdy footwear essential for summer hiking.

The Bivacco Ghedini mountain hut sits just 300 meters west of the summit at the same elevation, providing climbers with one of the highest-altitude shelter options in the entire Dolomites region.
