Sexten Dolomites, Mountain range and protected area in South Tyrol, Italy.

The Sexten Dolomites extend across 116 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring multiple peaks above 3000 meters in elevation, including Zwölferkofel at 3094 meters.

The mountain range received its designation as a protected natural area in 1981, leading to the establishment of regulations for preservation and sustainable tourism development.

The region combines Italian and German linguistic traditions, reflected in the dual naming of peaks, trails, and mountain huts throughout the territory.

The mountain range contains an extensive network of marked hiking paths connecting various mountain shelters, with the primary access points located in Sesto and Val Pusteria.

The Tre Cime di Lavaredo peaks form three distinct rock formations that rise nearly vertically from the surrounding landscape, reaching heights of 2999 meters.
