Cima dei Bureloni

Cima dei Bureloni is a mountain summit in the Pale di San Martino reaching about 3130 meters, featuring dramatic limestone rock formations throughout. The southwestern face displays steep cliffs that drop sharply from the peak.

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.

Climbers typically start from the Passo Rolle parking area, following marked paths that lead toward the summit. The route involves navigating steep terrain and glacial sections, so experience and proper equipment are important considerations.

The mountain contains one of the last remaining glaciers in the Dolomites, offering climbers multiple technical routes through its frozen landscape. The Zirocole Glacier presents a distinctive challenge and draws experienced mountaineers seeking varied climbing options.
