Sass Maor

Sass Maor is a mountain summit in the Pala group of the Dolomites with towering limestone cliffs and jagged rock formations. The peak rises around 2,800 meters and displays dramatic vertical stone faces throughout.

Sass Maor was first documented to be climbed in 1875, marking an early milestone in the exploration of the Dolomites. Since then the peak has drawn climbers from different places seeking to challenge this mountain.

The mountain serves as a meeting point for international climbing communities who gather annually to share experiences and climbing techniques.

Most routes to the peak start from San Martino di Castrozza and approach the base through various trails. Anyone planning to climb here should arrange with mountain guides and bring proper climbing gear.

The north face drops steeply for over 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) and represents one of the most demanding climbing routes in the Dolomites. This is why the peak is known among climbers with significant technical skill.
