From Col Margherita, the view extends over some of the main Dolomite peaks, which were declared UNESCO Natural Heritage in 2009: from the Pale di San Martino to Civetta, from Pelmo to the Focobon group up to Cima Uomo and ‘his majesty’ Marmolada.
The terrace above the alpine pass can be reached comfortably by cable car, but, only in summer, for the more trained, also on foot. The northern slope is steep and precipitous, while the southern slope slopes gently towards Passo Valles. The scene of bloody battles during the First World War due to its strategic position, Col Margherita is one of the most striking viewpoints in the valley. The mountains that you can admire from up there are dizzying: in front, the Creste di Costabella, Cima Uomo, Marmolada; further to the right, the Cime d’Auta, Sorapiss, Pelmo, Civetta, Moiazza, Cima del Focobon and Mulaz; behind, instead, the spectacular Pale di San Martino and, towards the south-west, the long Lagorai chain. To better orient yourself in front of such a spectacle, two observation balconies, complete with illustrative panels, have been created along the path that climbs to Cima Juribrutto.
