The three peaks of Lavaredo

The three peaks of Lavaredo

The Drei Zinnen, or Tre cime di Lavaredo, are  three peaks  forming an  impressive massif in the Sexten Dolomites, on the border of the Italian province of Belluno to the south and Alto Adige to the north. The highest summit in the group, Große Zinne or Cima Grande,  reaches an altitude of 2,999 m,  flanked by  the other  two peaks,  the Westliche Zinne/Cima Occidentale/(2,973 m) and Kleine Zinne /Cima Piccola (2,857 m).  Aside  from  these  important  landforms,  there  are  also  some  other  peaks  that belong to the same massif, such as the Punta di Frida (2,792 m) and Pressturm or Kleinste Zinne/Cima Piccolissima (2,700 m).
