Averau, Mountain summit in Province of Belluno, Italy
Monte Averau rises to 2,649 meters in the Nuvolau Group of the Dolomites, featuring steep rock faces and distinct limestone formations that define its profile.
The first recorded ascent of Monte Averau occurred on August 10, 1874, when Austrian writer Richard Issler and guide Santo Siorpaes reached the summit.
The mountain stands within the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites region, where Alpine traditions and mountain climbing practices have shaped local identity.
Climbers access the summit through the Averau ferrata route, starting from Rifugio Averau at 2,413 meters, which provides equipment and guidance for ascents.
The mountain's position between Falzarego Pass and Giau Pass creates a natural observatory for viewing major Dolomite peaks including Civetta, Pelmo, and Tofana.
