Description
Sass de Mura is a 2,547-metre-elevation (8,356-foot) summit in the Dolomites. Set on the common boundary between the provinces of Belluno and Trentino, the peak is located 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) west of the city of Belluno. The peak is within Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains to the Cismon, whereas the east slope drains to the Piave. Sass de Mura is the highest peak in the Cimonega Group, and it is 1.38 kilometers (0.86 mile) south of Piz di Sagron, the second-highest.[2][3]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Sass de Mura is located in an alpine climate zone with long, cold winters, and short, mild summers.[4] Weather systems are forced upward by the mountains (orographic lift), causing moisture to drop in the form of rain and snow. The months of June through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing or visiting this area.[5]
