Mount Gramolon, reachable from the Bertagnoli refuge, requires a little attention.

From Monte Gramolòn (1,814 m), you have a breathtaking 360° view of the Piccole Dolomiti, the Sentiero dei Grandi Alberi trail below, and, on the opposite side, the Lessinia mountain range!
The climb from Passo Ristele (to the north) is short but steep, and breathtaking! From Passo della Scagina (to the south), it's even steeper and more technical, EE, with frequent switchbacks that ascend a deep gully: very evocative. On this side, there are also the Angelo Viali and Ferrari via ferratas.
The summit, with its cross, touches a spectacular but exposed ridgeline over the precipice, so be careful and avoid leaning out.The toponym derives from the dialect verb 'sgramolare', meaning to break into lumps: therefore, 'Gramolon' means the mountain that crumbles, due to subsidence and scree!
