Cima Ombretta Orientale

DESCRIPTION
Ascent to the Eastern Ombretta peak: breathtaking views of the Dolomites.
It is an itinerary that is just over 3000 meters and is located in the Marmolada area. The destination of the excursion is part of a mountain massif in the Fassa Dolomites which includes three peaks: the Occidentale (2998 m), di Mezzo (2983 m) and the Orientale (3011 m). Despite the 1660 meters of ascent, the climb does not present particular difficulties, except for the length and the consequent effort.
Despite being in the Marmolada area, the excursion is not very popular, thus offering the possibility of enjoying the spectacular panorama from the summit alone or in the company of a few people. At the top, there is an iron cross. From the summit, it is possible to admire the spectacular south wall of the Marmolada, the Sasso Vernale, the Cima Dell'Uomo, the Formenton Group and the Cime D'Auta.
On the way back, it is advisable to taste the typical products of the local huts to round off the experience in style.

ITINERARY
From the parking lot (1449 m) go up a dirt road quickly arriving at the Agritur Malga Ciapela (1544 m). Here, following trail no. 610 you arrive first at Malga Ombretta (1904 m) and then at Rifugio Falier all'Ombretta (2100 m). After a brief stop, continue on the 610 arriving at Passo Ombretta (2700 m). Turn left on the 650 and, passing the Bivacco Marco Dal Bianco (2727 m), you reach the summit of Cima Ombretta Orientale (3011 m) after a short equipped section. We return by the same path.
