Sasso Vernale, Mountain summit in Trentino-South Tyrol, Italy
Sasso Vernale is a mountain peak in the Italian Alps sitting between Trentino-South Tyrol and Veneto at 3,058 meters high. The summit is composed of rocky terrain with steep slopes and loose stone, making the climb technically demanding for experienced mountaineers.
The mountain area saw military activity during World War I, with fortifications and equipment constructed throughout the region. Remnants from this period such as wooden structures and metal containers remain visible along the climbing routes today.
Local mountaineers established multiple paths leading to the summit, creating a network of trails that connect various mountain refuges in the region.
The ascent from Passo Ombrettola requires technical skills and proper climbing gear due to steep slopes and loose rock surfaces. Experienced mountaineers should come well-prepared with sturdy footwear and safety equipment for the challenging terrain.
From the peak, climbers can see the impressive Marmolada wall to the north and spot the distant shapes of Monte Pelmo and Civetta toward the eastern horizon. These views make the summit a favored spot for photographers wanting to capture the surrounding summits.
