Piz dles Cunturines, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy
Piz dles Cunturines is a mountain in the Fanes Group of the Dolomites with two distinct summits separated by a high saddle, with the main peak reaching about 3,064 meters (10,066 feet). From this location you can see neighboring peaks including Monte Cristallo and Marmolada stretching across the landscape.
The first recorded ascent occurred in August 1880 when Ludwig Grünwald and guide Santo Siorpaes reached the summit. This early climb marked the beginning of the mountaineering history on this peak.
The mountain's name comes from the Ladin language spoken in the valleys below, a tongue that shapes daily life in the local communities. You will find this linguistic heritage reflected in place names and local customs throughout the surrounding region.
The Tru-Dolomieu via ferrata is the established climbing route to the summit and requires proper equipment and experience with rock climbing. Capanna Alpina serves as the nearest mountain refuge if you need shelter, rest, or overnight accommodation.
The mountain features an unusual double-summit formation that sets it apart from many other Dolomites peaks. This distinctive structure creates interesting visual perspectives as you progress during your climb.
