The Lavaredo Tops: Big Peak
|
Of the Dolomite groups which together form what is called the Dolomites of Sesto (i.e. the groups of Rondoi-Baranci, Tre Scarperi, Croda dei Toni, Popera, Paterno, and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo), the Lavaredo group is the group "par excellence"; the most noted alpinists find of its three majestic and mighty peaks, the source of greatest challenge and satisfaction. Isolated from the surrounding groups, the Three Peaks are the symbol of the Dolomites world, the petrified spirit of height, winds and snow.
