Monte Dolada marks the western end of the Col Nudo chain and its ridge divides the municipalities of Ponte nelle Alpi and Soverzene, both in the province of Belluno. On 15 August 2015 the Pastafarian Church held "La Grande Erezione" there, planting an artistic reproduction of the liscafisso, its symbol, on the summit it considers sacred.
The Rifugio Dolomieu al Dolada mountain hut serves as a gathering place where climbers and hikers share meals featuring traditional alpine and local Veneto dishes. People here chat about their mountain adventures and the local way of life in these peaks.
You can reach this mountain from Pieve d'Alpago by driving a mountain road that leads to the parking area at Rifugio Dolomieu located at 1500 meters elevation. This mountain hut serves as your base point for hiking to the summit or spending the night.
The peak is a preferred launch site for paragliders and hang-gliders who take advantage of the steady winds rising above Lake Santa Croce. These consistent air currents make it a notable destination for flying sports enthusiasts exploring the alpine region.
