Latemar Massiv is on the border between Trentino and South Tyrol Regions. From the geological point of view it is an atoll which emerged form the tropical sea. That is why it is possible to find ammonites and shells in the rocks.

The highest peak is the Torre Diamantidi (2,842 m). The excursion to Torre di Pisa allows you to immerse yourself in this .... sea of rocks! white, outstretched to the sky, eternal, as only the Dolomites can be.

Author’s recommendation

The best place to take a pic of the famous Torre di Pisa is the flat area behind the mountain hut.

Do not miss the classic photography that, playing with perspective, allows you to sustain the tower with one hand!

Quando siamo stati noi abbiamo incontrato qualche cane. Andavano sciolti senza guinzaglio ovviamente rispondendo ai comandi. È un po’ in pendenza e non facilissimo.. dipende se il cane è abituato.
Question from Stefano Simioni · July 06, 2021 · Community
Buongiorno, vorremmo fare questa camminata ma nel gruppo qualcuno soffre di vertigini. Leggo che ci sono dei passaggi attrezzati, questo significa che ci sono dei punti particolarmente esposti? Se ci sono, si trovano prima o dopo i rifugio torre di Pisa partendo da passo Feudo. Grazie

Ciao, la parte da Passo Feudo è fattibile, ho visto anche famiglie con bambini. Consiglio poi di fare il percorso a ritroso e di non valicare la montagna, lie più difficoltosa la situazione.

Percorso senza dubbio bellissimo e affascinante ma non lo definirei di livello medio. Ho affrontato percorsi definiti difficili su questa app e risultati più semplici di questo. Il percorso è molto ripido ed essendo su rocce anche molto sdrucciolevole. Detto questo per chi ha esperienza in questo genere è veramente molto bello e affascinante.

Herrliche Bergtour mit epischen Eindrücken auf dem Hochplateau. Der Weg vom Passo Feudo zur Schutzhütte Torre di Pisa (Latemarhütte) ist allerdings stellenweise sehr belebt und man sieht viele Ausflügler, die für die Wanderung zum Rifugio offenbar nicht wirklich bergsicher sind. Ab Rifugio weniger Wanderer und traumhafte Landschaft. Ein ausführliches Tourenvideo siehe >>> https://youtu.be/R66pR3J0QKM

Escursione indubbiamente affascinante e suggestiva nella sua parte centrale, a partire dal rifugio Torre di Pisa e per i successivi 2 km. Fare attenzione alla breve ma ripida discesa in disarrampicata alla Forcella dei Camosci, soprattutto con residui di neve o roccette bagnate. Il percorso si compie in 4 ore circa.
