Three Peaks
The most famous peaks of the Dolomites, a legend in the world of mountaineering. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the whole area of the Dolomites began to become a coveted tourist destination even if for many years, tourists and vacationers were content to admire and to portray the beautiful mountains only from below. In those days even the mountains inspired fear and awe. Only in the second half of the nineteenth century, some guides and altotesine Cadore, along with climbers Austrian, Swiss and English, moved by the courage and spirit of adventure, began to scale the hitherto unclimbed peaks. The recall was more exercised by its legendary Three Peaks. This massive, known for its steep walls has always been an attraction for intrepid hikers and climbers from around the world and to date has not yet lost its charm. The history of climbing the Three Peaks in the year 1869, when the Viennese mountaineer and explorer Paul Grohmann and guides altotesine Salcher Peter and Franz Innerkofler climbed Cima Grande (m. 2,999). Ten years later, Michl Innerkofler Sesto and Georg Ploner Dobbiaco succeeded in conquering the west peak (2973 m) passing through the south wall. Then, in 1881, brothers Hans and Michl Innerkofler Sesto conquered the south wall of the Cima Piccola Lavaredo (d. 2857). In the decades that followed were many mountaineers and explorers from across Europe to write memorable and meaningful pages of this ongoing challenge and confrontation between man and mountain.
