Monte Pelf

Monte Pelf is a mountain summit in the Dolomites, rising above 2,500 meters with steep limestone walls and jagged ridges. The peak offers multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty across exposed rock faces.

The peak was first climbed in 1857 by English mountaineer John Ball, marking an important moment in the exploration of the Dolomites. Since then, additional routes have been established and the mountain has attracted climbers from across Europe.

The summit serves as a proving ground for climbers seeking to test their skills on serious rock. Knowledge of the routes and conditions passes among mountaineers who visit regularly.

The main climbing route departs from Passo Staulanza and requires climbing experience and proper safety equipment. Visitors should prepare for mountain weather and ensure they have adequate fitness for sustained climbing.

From the top, the view extends across multiple surrounding valleys, revealing how the Dolomites fold and rise in layers. On clear days, the scale of the mountain range becomes visibly apparent from this vantage point.
