The Cima Grande, rising to 2,999 meters, features vertical limestone walls and stands as the central peak of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo formation.

In 1869, mountaineer Paul Grohmann accomplished the first documented ascent of Cima Grande, establishing a milestone in Dolomites mountain climbing history.

The mountain sits within the territory of the Ladin people, who maintain their distinct language and traditions in this section of the Dolomites.

Climbers can access the mountain through the Rifugio Auronzo, which provides accommodation and serves as a starting point for various climbing routes.

During World War I, the mountain area contained military installations, with tunnels and fortifications still visible in the surrounding rock formations.
