Great Dolomite walls that have made the history of mountaineering.
The Lagorai mountain group is located south of Predazzo and is mainly composed of porphyry, eruptive rocks formed by quartz and orthoclase. The north-eastern area of the massif is immersed in the Paneveggio - Pale di San Martino Natural Park.
The massif extends between Monte Panarotta and Passo Rolle with a length of 70 km. The natural borders are the Val di Fiemme to the north, the Val di Cembra to the west, the Valle di Primiero and Vanoi to the east. Characteristic for the Lagorai are the rocky walls in different colors that shine from black to red to green.
The only pass in the chain that can be traveled by car is Passo Manghen, which connects Valsugana with Val di Fiemme.
