Cima dei Bureloni, Mountain summit in Trentino, Italy.
Cima dei Bureloni is a 3,130 m summit in the Pale di San Martino, on the border between the provinces of Trento and Belluno, the third-highest peak of the group. It stands between the Campanili di Val Strut ridge to the southwest and Cima di Valgrande to the northeast. Apart from the northeast side, its flanks are a continuous alternation of pinnacles and overhangs.
The peak was first reached on July 26, 1888, when a group of climbers successfully summited the mountain. This early ascent marked an important moment in the exploration history of the Dolomites.
The name Bureloni comes from a local dialect word referring to the deep gorges and steep ravines that define the mountain slopes.
The easiest and least risky route to the summit climbs the north-east side via Valgrande, the Ghiacciaio delle Ziròcole and Passo Bureloni. The south-east gully of the 1888 first ascent is a steeper alternative. The mountain lies on the border between the provinces of Trento and Belluno.
The easiest and least risky route to the summit runs from the north-east side, through Valgrande, the Ghiacciaio delle Ziròcole and Passo Bureloni. The first ascent, on 26 July 1888 by L. Darmstädter, R. Kramer, L. Stabeler and C. Bernard, followed a gully on the south-east face, the same line used for the first winter ascent.
