The Furchetta ( Ladin Furchёta ) is a mountain in the Geisler group in the South Tyrolean Dolomites . At 3,025 m, it is the same height as the neighboring main summit of the Geisler peaks, the Sass Rigais , but is even rated a little higher in some guides at 3,030 m .
From the north, the 800 m high north face dominates the Geisler group. Internally, the Furchetta is divided into the Large Furchetta and the Small Furchetta ( 3010 m ) offset to the south-east , which makes the mountain with its double peaks look like opened scissors from some views.
Location and surroundings
The Furchetta is located a little east of the center of the Geisler peaks, which form part of the ridge between Val Gardena in the south and the Villnößtal in the north and are protected in the Puez-Geisler Nature Park . To the west it is bounded by the Val dla Saliëries and separated from the Sass Rigais by the narrow Saliëries-Scharte. In the east the ridge continues with the Odla de Valdusa ( 2936 m ) and the Wasserkofel ( Sas dal Ega , 2924 m ). In the south is the Torkofel (Sas dla Porta, 2970 m ).
Alpinism
The first ascent was made by Johann Baptist Vinatzer, a hunter, single-handedly in 1870.
The north face became known in 1914 after a failed attempt by the rope team Hans Dülfer and Luis Trenker . The first ascent took place on August 1, 1925 by Emil Solleder and Fritz Wiessner , but the first ascent via the Dülferkanzel (now called Vinatzerweg ) was not made until August 8, 1932, by Batista Vinatzer and Johann Rifesser.
Today's normal route leads from St. Christina through the Wasserrinnental to the Saliëries-Scharte and from there further alpine ( II – III ) through the southwest side of the mountain to the summit.
etymology
The name can be traced back etymologically to the Latin word furca for fork and the suffix -etta and refers to the multi-pointed, fork-like summit shape.
