Sas da Duman, Mountain summit in Langkofel Group, Italy
Sas da Duman is a mountain summit in the Langkofel Group that rises to 3,126 meters (10,255 feet). The peak features a striking eastern face where multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty attract mountaineers throughout the year.
The peak received its German name Grohmannspitze during 19th century mapping expeditions when Austrian cartographers surveyed the Dolomites region. This name reflects the scientific exploration and documentation efforts that shaped the mountain's identity during that era.
Local mountaineering clubs maintain detailed documentation of climbing routes and conduct regular guide training programs on the mountain's various faces.
The summit is accessible through established routes from nearby towns, with climbing guides and equipment rentals available in the surrounding valleys. The climbing season runs from late spring through early autumn, when weather conditions are most favorable for safe ascents.
The rock formations display distinct layers of ancient marine sediment deposited millions of years ago when this region lay beneath a prehistoric ocean. These visible geological layers tell the story of how the landscape transformed over vast stretches of time.
