This sea marks the birthplace of the Dolomites, as we are often reminded by fossils and remains of calcified coral reef. “Pale Mountains”: this was the name used to describe the Dolomites for quite some time until about 200 years ago, when the French geologist Déodat de Dolomieu studied and analyzed the composition of the rock. Thus they inherited his name. The Val Gardena Dolomites em- body a mysterious and legendary world that continues to captivate even beyond its initial impact. The towering Sassolungo stands out, reaching 3,181 meters. Its name derives from the slender and long south wall (Italian: sasso=stone, lungo=long). The eye-catching panorama includes the jagged summits of the Torri del Fermeda, which are part of the Odle Group, and the 3,000 me- ters of the Furchëta and Sass Rigais, where Reinhold Messner’s mountaineering career began. Year after year countless skiers, excursionists and cyclists set out to complete the circuit around the Sella Group, covering the 26 km of the renowned Sellaronda, clockwise or counter- clockwise for any of the various sports.
