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.
