Cima dei Bureloni is a mountain on the common boundary shared by the provinces of Trentino and Belluno in northern Italy.
Description
Cima dei Bureloni is a 3,130-meter-elevation (10,269-foot) summit in the Pale di San Martino group of the Dolomites. The peak is located four kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of San Martino di Castrozza mountain resort, and the peak is the third-highest within Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains into Torrente Travignolo which is a tributary of the Avisio, whereas the east slope drains into tributaries of the Piave. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 1,300 meters (4,265 feet) above the Comelle Valley in two kilometers (1.24 miles), and 530 meters (1,739 feet) above Bivacco Giorgio Brunner in 0.5 kilometer (0.31 mile). The nearest higher neighbor is Vezzana, 0.8 kilometer (0.5 mile) to the south.[1] The mountain's toponym derives from the dialect word "burel", meaning ravine or steep gully, which refers to the slopes of this peak.[3] The first ascent of the summit was made on July 26, 1888, by L. Darmstädter, R. Kramer, L. Stabeler, and C. Bernard via a gully on the southeast aspect.[3]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Cima dei Bureloni 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 visiting or climbing in this area.[5]
