Gran Vernel

Gran Vernel rises to an elevation of 3,210 meters within the Dolomites range, featuring steep rock faces and exposed limestone formations along its slopes.

The mountain has remained relatively unexplored compared to neighboring peaks, with limited documented climbing attempts throughout the recorded alpine history of the region.

Local mountaineering traditions consider Gran Vernel as part of the broader Marmolada group, which holds significance in Italian alpine climbing development.

Access to Gran Vernel requires advanced mountaineering skills and equipment, with the nearest facilities located at Capanna Punta Penia, 1,701 meters from the summit.

The peak maintains a topographic isolation of 1.34 kilometers and a prominence of 314 meters, creating distinct geographical features within the Dolomites landscape.
