Sassolungo di Cibiana

Sassolungo di Cibiana rises to 2413 meters and features a distinctive steep north wall that sets it apart from neighboring peaks in the Zoldo Dolomites. The summit is characterized by rocky formations that make it recognizable from various viewing points in the region.

Local chamois hunters explored this peak during the 19th century and established the first documented routes to the summit. These early explorers formed the foundation for the climbing routes that mountaineers use today.

The people of Ospitale di Cadore call this mountain 'El Cimon' in their local dialect, showing how the region's language and the landscape are deeply connected. The name reflects the way communities here have shaped their own relationship with the surrounding peaks.

The best climbing season runs from June through October, with the route starting at Forcella Cibiana at 1530 meters elevation for a climb of about 900 meters. Visitors should be prepared for steep terrain and have appropriate experience with rock climbing.

This peak offers two distinct normal climbing routes: one along the south face and another across the west wall, both requiring grade II technical skills. Climbers can choose different paths that each offer unique perspectives of the approach and summit.
