The Pala di San Martino ( 2987 m slm ) is a mountain in the Dolomites . Due to its height of almost 3,000 meters, the smooth mountain dominates the central Pala group southeast of San Martino di Castrozza . The Pala di San Martino became known in mountaineering circles through the Gran Pilaster , a famous classic climbing tour in the medium difficulty range.
The Pala di San Martino is not easily accessible from either side. Even the normal route from the Pala plateau requires mountaineering experience and climbing skills. The Gran pilasters along with the descent on the normal one not to be underestimated companies. For this reason there is a bivouac box on the top of the Pala di San Martino .
