Ascent to the extinct volcano

Easy round trip that takes about three hours leading across pastures dotted with barns and mountain huts to the summit of mount Pore. This mountain is an extinct volcano with geology that differs a lot from the dolomite rock. Thanks to the particular composition of the soil, grass and flowers thrive right up to the top. From there, you can admire a large part of the most fascinating mountains of the eastern Dolomites: Civetta, Col di Lana, Marmolada, Antelao, Boè, Pelmo, Sassongher, Sorapis.

The area is also extremely interesting from a historical point of view: on the southern slopes of mount Pore iron was dug out of the Fursil mines since ancient times.The quality of the iron ore, manganese-bearing siderite, was so excellent that it was used all over Europe for manufacturing very valuable weapons and swords. It is no coincidence that the characteristic black magmatic rock of mount Pore contrasts sharply with the pink Dolomite rocks.
