Latemar Group

The Latemar Group is a mountain range which extends in the south of Mt. Catinaccio, separated from it by the Passo di Costalunga.

The Latemar Group, on which peak runs the border between South Tyrol and the Trentino, is accessible from the Val d’Ega valley in South Tyrol as well as from the Alpe di Pampeago and the village of Predazzo in Trentino. The peaks provide also the backdrop for the stunning Lake Carezza. According to a legend, the mountains of the Latemar Group are fossilized puppets.

This mountain range in the Dolomites is characterised by its form of a horseshoe, open towards east. It has got two subgoups: one north group which includes the peaks from the Cima Poppe (2,460 m a.s.l.) to Mt. Torre dei Muss (2,402 m a.s.l.), whereas the mountains of the second group tower up round Mt. Agnello (2,358 m a.s.l.).

However, the Latemar Group, both in winter and summer, is a perfect outdoor pleasure ground offering beautiful hikes and a wonderful skiing area. A very popular but exhausting mountain tour leads to Mt. Schenón (2,791 m a.s.l.) from the Passo di Costalunga via the Latemar Piccola Saddle.
