Creta Forata

Creta Forata is a mountain summit in the Carnic Alps standing at 2,462 meters with a distinctive twin-peak structure. The mountain features limestone composition and offers several marked trails for climbers, primarily accessible from the village of Sappada.

The mountain has served for centuries as a natural boundary between the regions of Veneto and Friuli, shaping territorial development in northeastern Italy. This geographic role made it an important landmark in the region's history.

The surrounding area has long attracted climbers from the region who follow traditional routes up the mountain. Visitors encounter the marks of this Alpine passion that shapes the lives of the local climbing community.

Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weather-resistant clothing, as the terrain is steep and conditions can change quickly. The climb requires good stamina and is best planned for days with stable weather.

The mountain rises with a topographic prominence of 857 meters and is the highest point of the eastern Terza-Siera mountain group. This geological distinction makes it a striking landmark in the Alpine landscape of the region.
