Monte Duranno

Monte Duranno is a mountain summit in the Friulian Dolomites standing at approximately 2,650 meters, forming part of a ridge within the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park. The peak is characterized by limestone formations typical of the region.

Monte Duranno formed during the Triassic period millions of years ago through marine sediments and geological shifts. The rocks were lifted into their current position through tectonic movements.

Local mountaineering groups maintain various paths and shelters around Monte Duranno, preserving traditional Alpine hiking routes for future generations to experience.

You can visit this area from May through October when weather conditions are safest. The trails are accessible from nearby starting points and suitable for various fitness levels.

The slopes support a stable wild ibex population that can be spotted along the trails during climbing season. These animals have adapted to the high altitude and use the steep rock formations as their habitat.
