Garzolet

From the village of Pietramurata we are biking northwards along Sarca river. While it reaches out of mountains from the left, we see in front the imposing summit of Garzolet, 961 m. April 17th, 2022.

Where does it belong?

I'm not sure, but perhaps this summit belongs to the Brenta group - its foothills?

Hi Vid,
For what it's worth, the only english language guide I have that mentions it is "Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites: Vol 2." - Fletcher and Smith. They put it in the chapter alongside routes around Riva del Garda and Arco. Hope this is helpful.

Re: Where does it belong?

Hi Vid,
this towering rock peak is also known as Piccolo Dain. It does not belong to the Brenta Dolomites, but it belongs to the chain of mountains that make up the western shore of the Sarca Valley, generically known as the Monte Casale group.
Cheers,Silvia

Re: Where does it belong?

Just one more remark. On the OpenStreetMap two peaks are drawn there: Garzolet, 961 m, and a bit north of it Picolo Dain, 967 m. From this point of view (from the south) they can't be distinguished, so I decided to name the picture by the southern one.
