The Campanile di Val Montanaia is a 2173 m slm high mountain at the end of the Val Montanaia in the Friulian Dolomites in Italy . The 300 meter high, only 50 to 60 meter wide rock needle has become famous for its unusual shape, reminiscent of a campanile .
tourism
The Campanile can be reached via the town of Cimolais , a few kilometers east of the town of Longarone , which is on Strada Statale 51 di Alemagna . From Cimolais, the path to the Campanile leads through the Val Cimoliana (toll route), of which the Val Montanaia is a side valley. At the entrance to the valley is the Rifugio Pordenone hut (1249 m, CAI ). Immediately north of the campanile, at an altitude of 2060 meters, is the Bivacco Giuliano Perugini bivouac box .
Immediately past the Campanile di Val Montanaia leads the Dolomites high path number six, which is also called the path of silence because of its seclusion .
The normal route to the Campanile leads in difficulty level V- (UIAA) , according to other information only III-IV, from the south over the west wall to the summit. There are other routes up to level VII +.
On the summit, next to a statue of the Madonna, there is also a bell that is rung by incoming climbers.
history
Rudolf Reschreiter first made the mountain known in climbing circles around 1900. Because of its ring-shaped band with overhanging rock below the summit, it soon gained the reputation of being "unclimbable". On September 7, 1902, the Italians Napoleone Cozzi and Alberto Zanutti made a first attempt and got over the key point , but could not find a way onto the ring band. Ten days later, after a meeting with Cozzi and Zanutti , the Austrians Karl Günther von Saar and Victor Wolf von Glanvell discovered the cross passage to the west from which the ring belt could be reached and were able to make the first ascent of the Campanile. Its ascent is still considered to be the normal route.
On September 19, 1926, the summit bell with the Latin inscription Audentis resonant per me loca muta triumpho (freely translated: "Through me, the triumph of the daring sounds in a quiet place") was erected.
The alpinist and film director Severino Casara called the mountain the “most beautiful campanile in the world”. In its form, it is "one of the most unusual mountain figures not only in Europe, but probably in the world," said the author Helmut Lang. The alpine painter and mountaineer Edward Theodore Compton gave it the nickname "The most illogical mountain in the world". Napoleone Cozzi described the tower as a "petrified cry of a damned".
