GUIDE TO PALE DI SAN MARTINO GROUP

Pale di San Martino (pillars of San Martino) mountain group sits in the Trento province of Italy. It is has been a wonderfully isolated mountain range for many years, however now there is a road nearing completion that has tunneled through the most part of the natural barriers and open valleys below the imposing towers of San Martino. San Martino di Castrozza is where the cable cars and ski lifts are located and the best departure point into the mountains. A ski resort town, San Martino has become very trendy during the winter time and, during the summer, it is a great place to enjoy a week walking. There are plenty of quaint hotels that are open during the summer time, and many of the ski lifts have been opened to transport mountain bikes as well as hikers.

The mountain group is defined by the boundary made of the Agordo valley to the east, Fassa valley to the west. the Cismon river, Passo di Cereda, and Passo S. Pellegrino to the north. The mountain group is distinguished by many rock towers ( the 'pale') found throughout its range.

The Pale di San Martino group has the spectacular landscape that the dolomites are known for, and there are plenty activities to enjoy if you decide to include this area in your vacation plans
