Monte Agnèr

Monte Agnèr is a summit in the Dolomites that reaches 2,872 meters (9,423 feet) and features several sub-peaks including Lastei d'Agnèr at 2,861 meters. The mountain forms a distinctive ridge with multiple points, among them Spiz d'Agnèr Sud lower down the formation.

The mountain was first documented to be climbed in 1875, when Cesare Tomé reached the summit with mountain guides Tomaso Dal Col and Martino Gnech. This early ascent marked the beginning of recorded climbing activity on this Dolomite peak.

Local people call this summit Il Pizzòn, meaning Great Peak, which shows how the mountain holds a special place in their regional language and identity. The name reflects the dialect spoken here and how the mountain shapes the local connection to the landscape.

A mountain shelter called Bivacco Giancarlo Biasin sits near the summit and offers emergency lodging for climbers making the ascent. Before attempting the climb, visitors should prepare with proper equipment and some mountain experience.

This peak stands as the fourth most prominent in the Pala group, rising roughly 500 meters above the surrounding terrain. This distinctive prominence makes it a notable landmark when viewed from other parts of the mountain range.
