The Tofana di Dentro ( German Innere Tofana , also Tofana di Fuori , Hintere / Äußere Tofana , Tofana de Inze or Tofana III ) is a 3238 m slm high mountain in the Dolomites in the Italian province of Belluno . After the Tofana di Mezzo, it forms the second highest elevation of the three-peaked Tofane west of Cortina d'Ampezzo .
Location and surroundings
The Tofana di Dentro is the northernmost of the three Tofana peaks and, based on the southern Tofana di Rozes, also bears the name Tofana III . It “hides” behind the Tofana di Mezzo, a good 600 meters to the south, to which it is connected by a ridge. Forcella Tofana ( 3084 m ) lies between the two peaks . To the northeast, the ridge continues to Cima Formenton ( 2830 m ) with the Bivacco Baracca degli Alpini . To the east, the terrain drops sharply and, together with the middle Tofana, forms the over 500 meter high eastern slopes of the Tofane.
Alpinism
The Tofana di Dentro was to be climbed for the first time in the course of the cadastral surveying of Tyrol, but this did not succeed. Years later , Paul Grohmann prepared to visit the summit. With the local mountain guide Angelo Dimai, he reached the top on August 27, 1865 and thus completed his first ascent of the Tofane, after having climbed the Tofana di Mezzo two years earlier and the Tofana di Rozes in 1864 . The two chose the nowadays no longer usual ascent from the front to the Forcella Tofana . Grohmann attested the Tofana di Dentro a particular advantage over the middle tip:
“[...] Above all, however, the sight of the Ampezzo basin itself remained unforgettable for me, with its laughing corridors and numerous settlements. [...] The whole thing unites to an extremely enjoyable view and I believe that the Tofana di fuori should be preferable to the Tofana di mezzo because of its more favorable position to the Boitethal and the valley of the Felizon. "
During the First World War , bitter fighting raged around the mountain and in the surrounding area. Both the Tofana III and the Tofana II were occupied by the Italian Alpini as part of the First Dolomite Offensive .
Ascent
The summit, which often presents itself with a snow edge , is now mostly climbed in combination with the six meter higher Tofana di Mezzo . There are basically three options for advancement.
- From the Rifugio Cima Tofana at the cable car mountain station of the Freccia nel cielo , the moderately difficult Via ferrata Lamon ( difficulty B ) leads over the ridge to Tofana di Dentro in one hour.
- A somewhat more demanding ascent can be done via the Via ferrata Formenton (also B ) on the northeast ridge. The Rifugio Ra Valles ( 2470 m ) at the cable car middle station is recommended as a starting point . This trail is also popular on the descent and requires caution with firn and snow fields.
- The normal ascent to Tofana di Mezzo begins at the Rifugio Giussani ( 2580 m ) and leads into the Forcella Tofana without difficulty . The further way to Tofana di Dentro runs over the Via ferrata Lamon .
