Cima Pala di Santa from Passo di Lavazè

DESCRIPTION
Among the Fiemme Dolomites: discovering the Pala di Santa.
La Pala di Santa is a mountain located within the Fiemme Dolomites, which forms the border between the provinces of Trento and Bolzano. Geographically, it is located between the Lavazè Pass and the Pampeago Pass, between the Val di Stava and the Val D'Ega.
Although it is not a particularly beautiful mountain in itself, from its top it is possible to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Val di Fiemme and Fassa, the Pale di San Martino, the Latemar and Catinaccio Groups, the Corno Nero and the Corno Bianco. Furthermore, you can admire the view of the towns of Nova Ponente and Monte San Pietro, together with the sanctuary of Pietralba.
