Col di Lana
The Col di Lana, 2452 meters high, is the most famous mountain in our area, both for its landscape value and its historical importance. It is in fact central to important dolomitic groups, such as Tofane, Sella and Marmolada, and on its summit there is a privileged observation point between the Western and the Eastern Dolomites. It was also the scene of fierce fighting between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops during the Great War.
The summit can be reached from four different directions: from the south starting from Pieve di Livinallongo, from the east starting from the hamlet Castello, from the north coming from the Sief saddle, from the west from the Corte hamlet.
The most common starting point is Pieve di Livinallongo, which can be reached by car until the hamlet of Palla. From here, following the path CAI 21 /, the difference in height is 776 meters and you reach the top in about three hours. First follow a dirt road that runs through the woods; at Pian de la Lasta, where there is a former refuge, you can continue on the dirt road or turn left onto the path that runs through the "Bosco dell'Impero". Both routes lead to the Plan de la Chicia. Climb up to Ciadiniei (an important Austro-Hungarian post called Panettone by the Italians and Infanteriestellung by the adversaries). You then come to a characteristic rocky jump called "Napoleon's Hat". From here the climb becomes more steep up to the nearby peak, characterized by the crater of the mine. There is a commemorative chapel and a bivouac. The view is great.
Difficulty: medium
Duration: 3 hours
Difference in height: 776 m
