Scenic view at sunset with Marmolada Peak, the highest mountain of Dolomites.

Marmolada is a mountain in northeastern Italy and the highest mountain of the Dolomites. Located about 100 kilometres north-northwest of Venice, from which it can be seen on a clear day, it consists of a ridge running west to east. Towards the south it breaks suddenly into sheer cliffs, forming a rock face several kilometres long. On the north side there is a comparatively flat glacier, the only large glacier in the Dolomites - the Marmolada Glacier, Ghiacciaio della Marmolada. The ridge is composed of several summits, decreasing in altitude from west to east: Punta Penia, Punta Rocca, Punta Ombretta, Monte Serauta, and Pizzo Serauta. An aerial tramway goes to the top of Punta Rocca. During the ski season the Marmolada`s main ski run is opened for skiers and snowboarders alike, making it possible to ski down into the valley.
