From the Cima Paganella, in good weather, you get a wide panoramic view of the Brenta Dolomites in the province of Trentino. The highest peak of the group is the Cima Tosa (3176 meters) which was not climbed until 1865.
During World War I, the Dolomites were the scene of intense trench warfare high in the mountains. Therefore, a trek through these mountains almost inevitably passes shelters, tunnels, military trails and via ferratas constructed at that time. That includes the Brenta Dolomites with the famous "Le Bocchete" ferrata that lets you traverse horizontally through much of the rock massif.
This work is a composition of 9 separate images each taken with a 500mm lens and then merged into a panorama.
