The Diamantiditurm (also Western Latemarspitze , Big Latemarturm or outdated Latemar main tower , Italian Torre Diamantidi or Cimon del Latemar ) is 2842 m slm the highest elevation of Latemarmassivs in the Italian Dolomites .
Location and surroundings
The Diamantiditurm is located in the main ridge of the Latemar, which forms the border between the autonomous provinces of South Tyrol in the north and Trentino in the south. It is one of the Eastern Latemar Towers ( Campanili del Latemar ) between the Diamantidirinne in the west and the 2,650 m high Great Latemarscharte ( Forcella Grande ) in the east. To the north, the mountain falls in steep, approximately 700-meter-high rock faces to the extensive scree slopes of the Rotlahn . On the south side of much flatter outweigh debris and craggy ground above the Valsorda , of a side of the Fiemme . Like the entire Latemar , the Diamantiditurm consists of clearly stratified Schlern dolomite , the pronounced gullies and gorges on the side of the mountain are largely due to highly eroding igneous rocks .
Bases and paths
The south flank of the Diamantiditurm is crossed at about 2600 m by a marked hiking trail and a little higher by the via ferrata Campanili del Latemar ( difficulty B / C ). From there, the summit of the mountain can be reached easily via climbing tracks.
Starting points for this tour are Obereggen , a fraction of the municipality of Deutschnofen , the Reiterjoch ( 1983 m ), the holiday settlement Karersee in the municipality of Welschnofen or the Karer Pass ( 1745 m ). The only managed refuge in the area is the Rifugio Torre di Pisa (also Latemarhütte , 2671 m ). In addition, two bivouac boxes are available with the Bivacco Rigatti ( 2620 m ) on the Große Latemarscharte and the Bivacco Latemar A. Sieff ( 2365 m ) south of the Diamantiditur tower .
history
The Diamantiditurm was first climbed by the Augsburg alpinist Gustav Euringer . Euringer had previously climbed the 2800 m high Latemarspitze in 1884 in the belief that this was the highest point of the Latemar massif. After realizing his mistake from there, he decided to climb the Diamantiditurm, which he finally managed on August 17, 1885 with the mountain guide Giorgio Bernard from Obereggen over the southern flank. On July 15, 1892, Demeter Diamantidi , accompanied by guides Peter Krotter and Anton Dejori, was the second at the top of the mountain. In contrast to Euringer, however, he reached the summit from the north via the steep icy gully west of the tower, which has since been known as Diamantidikamin or Diamantidirinne . As a result, the mountain previously known as the Latemar main tower was named after Diamantidi.
