The Piz Lavarela (also Lavarela peak , Ladin Piz de Lavarela ; the spelling also appears in the variants Lavarella , La Varela or La Varella , 3055 m slm ) is the north-western end point of the mountain range extending to the south-east, which extends from St . Shows Kassian in Val Badia as a huge rock wall and separates the valley from Fanes to the east . Through the Lavarelascharte ( 2885 m ) the Piz Lavarela is separated from the somewhat higher Piz Cunturines (3064 m ) divorced. The entire area belongs to the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park .
Climbs
The shortest ascent begins at the Capanna Alpina ( 1726 m ) south of Piz Cunturines . From there you first climb in a north-easterly direction to the Tadegajoch ( Ju da l'Ega , 2157 m ), then further west to the Lavarelascharte, where the ascent trails to Piz Lavarela and Piz Cunturines separate. To Piz Lavarela it goes up over rubble to the north, then on the right-hand side on a pronounced ribbon over scree and crags to the summit saddle. From there you reach the west summit ( 3034 m ) on the left over the ridge , on which the cross is located, or over a rock ridge to the main summit further east.
The Tadegajoch can also be reached from the east, from the Fanesalm. If you choose this ascent variant, you typically start in Pederü , an overnight stay in the Lavarella or Fanes hut is possible.
Surname
The name of the mountain is probably related to the field name Lavara, which often appears in various variants in the abbey valley and which comes from a pre-Roman language layer and possibly means rock or stone . Accordingly, the Piz Lavarela - the suffix -ela is a diminutive suffix - would be named after a small, lower lying area of rubble . The spelling La Varella , which was common for a long time , has largely given way to Lavarela, which corresponds to the Ladin pronunciation .
In Peter Anich's Atlas Tyrolensis from 1774, the mountain range still appears as Tamers Kofel , which can be traced back to a homestead on its western slopes. The topographer Johann Jakob Staffler first mentions a small and large varella in his work Tyrol and Vorarlberg from 1839 .
