The Piz Cunturines (or Cunturinesspitze , also in the spelling Conturines ; Ladin Piz dles Cunturines ) is with 3064 m slm the highest mountain in the Fanes group in the Dolomites , Italy . The mountain's massif slopes down to the west, south and east, with Piz Lavarela joining in the north . The entire area is part of the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park .
The normal route leads from the east on the north side of the valley in the direction of the saddle between Piz Cunturines and Piz Lavarela. From there you can reach the rocky summit structure in the south. The last few meters to the summit are mastered via the medium-difficult Conturinessteig or Tru-Dolomieu via ferrata . First you gain a little height on the north side, then cross to the west and then via several ladders you reach the north-west ridge of the summit, which has finally become flatter.
Even if it is assumed that the summit of Piz Cunturines had already been climbed by chamois hunters, the documented first ascent was made by Albrecht Grünwald accompanied by the mountain guide Santo Siorpaes on August 4, 1880. In 1987, on the southern slope of the mountain, at a height of At 2800 meters, a cave with numerous bones of cave bears and other animals, dated to an age of around 50,000 years, was discovered. The cave is sealed today.
