The Monte Castello is a striking 2817 m slm high mountain in the Fanes group on the border between the province of South Tyrol and the province of Belluno . It is the northern summit of the triad Monte Castello - Monte Casale - Monte Cavallo . The South Tyrolean parts of the mountain are part of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park .
Ascent
From the Lavarelahütte or the Faneshütte, head south over the Limojoch past the Limosee to reach the Große Fanesalm . Further south on path no.17, which is also part of the Dolomites high path no.1 , the path continues between the Furcia Rossa peaks on the left and the Cime Ciampestrin on the right through the Valun Blanch to the Bivouac des Friedens ( 2760 m slm ), which was built directly under the protection of the steep rock walls of Monte Castello. The summit can only be reached with the help of climbing equipment (difficulty level II and III).
Alternatively, the summit can also be reached from the south via the Val Travenanzes , on the southeast side of which the Tofana massif rises . First going through the valley, you will again reach path no. 17, which leads up to the Casalescharte ( Forcella Casale or Forcella de Cians ). From here you continue (either above or a little below Monte Casale) to the Peace Bivouac .
