With its 3,343 meters of altitude, Punta Penia is the highest peak of the Marmolada and of all the Dolomites. Climbed for the first time in 1864 by the Viennese Paul Grohmann, pioneer of mountaineering, with the Ampezzo guides Angelo and Fulgenzio Dimai. On the summit there is a small refuge, perfect for those who want to find refreshment and a roof over their heads: the Capanna Punta Penia, managed for years by Carlo Budel.

The Punta Penia is with 3343m the highest point of the Dolomites and the view from up here incredibly beautiful. However, this must be fought hard. The easiest way to get to the summit of the Marmolada in summer is via the West Ridge via ferrata ("Hans-Seyffert-Weg"). The difficulty of the ascent depends on the weather and the snow conditions. In any case, necessary equipment for an alpine high tour and appropriate knowledge for the use and behavior in any emergency situations. Summit ambitious individuals should be physically fit and consider climbing up to the Pian dei Fiacconi mountain hut the day before to divide over 1000 meters of altitude.

The panoramic terrace of the glacier is located at 3,265 m and can be reached with 3 large gondolas. The glacier is known to skiers, but it is definitely worth a visit in summer ... with the great all-round view.

Gondola ride costs € 30 ...
