Sas Rigais, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy

Sass Rigais rises to 3,025 meters with two distinct peaks connected by a ridge within the northwestern section of the Dolomites mountain range.

The first recorded climb to the summit occurred in 1878 when Giorgio Bernard, Giovanni Bernard, Bruno Wagner, and Eduard Niglutsch reached the top.

The name Sass Rigais originates from Ladin language, referring to either a vertical rock formation or the prior presence of deer populations.

Climbers access the summit through two main via ferrata routes: the easier eastern path from Val Gardena or the more technical southern route.

The mountain contains one of the few traversable passages among three-thousand-meter peaks in the Dolomites, crossing from one side to another.
