Highlights

The Dolomites

The Dolomites

The Dolomites, also known as the "Pale Mountains", are one of the most spectacular mountain range in the world. They take their name from the carbonate rock dolomite. This was named after the 18th-century French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750–1801), who was the first to describe the mineral. They are located in northeastern Italy and in In August 2009, the Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Climbing history in the Dolomites

Climbing history in the Dolomites

The Dolomites are full of climbing history. Historiographers usually attribute the leadership of “inaugurating the Dolomite era” to Vienna outdoorsman Paul Grohmann (1838-1908) because of his feats and, particularly, his writings. In 1875 Grohmann significantly contributed to bringing the Dolomites to fame by publishing a detailed color map – the first of its kind – entitled “Karte der Dolomiten-Alpen”. Two years later he collected the most important aspects of his numerous ascents in the book “Wanderungen in den Dolomiten” .

"On the mountains we feel the joy of life, the emotion of being good and the relief of forgetting earthly things: all this because we are closer to the sky". E. Comici

E. Comici made numerous ascents in the Eastern Alps, particularly in the Dolomites (where he made over 200 first ascents during his career) and in the Julian Alps.
