The Cristallino di Misurina ( Monte Cristallino for short ) is a 2775 m slm mountain in the Dolomites in the Italian province of Belluno . The popular viewing summit is located in the northeastern Cristallo group and can be reached via a marked trail.
Location and surroundings
The Cristallino di Misurina is the north-eastern cornerstone of the Cristallo group. It rises above the Val Popena alta , which separates it from the Pale di Misurina in front of it, and especially the Dürrensee and Schluderbach come into view. The ridge, which consists of several rock towers, continues to the southwest to Punta Michele ( 2898 m ) and Piz Popena . In between is the Forcella Michele ( 2590 m ), through which today's normal ascent takes place. To the north, the rubble-filled valleys of Val Cristallino and Val Banche run as branches to Val Popena basso , to the west of the summit is the Circo del Cristallo .
Alpinism
The first ascent of Monte Cristallino was made on August 16, 1864 by Paul Grohmann and Georg Ploner, who chose the ascent from the narrow high valley of Val Banche . At that time the summit was called Cristallinspitze and its height was given as 2840 m . W. Eckerth, who also climbed the mountain through the Val Banche with Michel Innerkofler in 1879 , described it as follows:
“It (the Cristallinspitze, note) appears as the highest elevation of a mighty rock area, which [sic!] With its deeply incised gaps and slender, rising peaks gives the impression of a dilapidated gothic giant building, its huge walls up to the dizzying height of 1400 m are piled up over the valley floor. "
The walls of some of the towers in front were gradually opened up in the 20th century. Punta Elfie ( 2739 m ), Punta Clementina and Punta Mosca (all III ) were conquered by Luigi Tarra in 1913. The Punta Idle overcame Sandro Del torso and Scarpa Idle in 1938 on the southeast face ( V ). The alpine development culminated in 1968 in the northwest crack at Campanile Molin ( VI ) by Alziro Molin and Andrea Pandolfo.
During the First World War , the outstanding panoramic summit served as a strategic vantage point.
Ascent
The ascent is either from the Ponte Val Popena alta ( 1659 m ) or from Lake Misurina . The two paths meet in Val Popena alta on the Rio Popena at around 2030 m . Then the ascent is quite steep through the Val delle Baracche, initially over loose scree , and finally over compact rock. A short chimney ( I ) is crossed in the lower section . To the left is the Guglie di Val Popena Alta, a particularly often photographed rock formation. The tour takes six to seven hours in total. There are no bases on the way.
The summit offers excellent views of the Schluderbach and Höhlenstein and a "great wild" view of Piz Popena and Monte Cristallo , which Paul Grohmann already appreciated.
