Haunold

The Rocca dei Baranci stands at 2,966 meters in elevation, featuring multiple summits including east, west, and south peaks within the Sesto Dolomites region.

The mountain received its first documented climbing expedition in 1878, initiating a tradition of mountaineering from the Rifugio Tre Scarperi base at 1,635 meters.

Local tales speak of Giant Haunold, a Roman captain's son who grew enormous from spring waters and defended East Tyrol against invading Huns.

The northern slope contains 10 kilometers of ski runs ranging from beginner to intermediate levels, making it suitable for various winter sports enthusiasts.

The mountain trek involves a challenging 1,420-meter elevation change over 8.1 kilometers, requiring approximately five hours to complete the full circuit.
