Cortina d'Ampezzo is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites in northern Italy. A string of three cable cars connect Cortina to Tofana di Mezzo, the third highest peak in the Dolomites at 3,244 meters. The peak is part of the Tofane group overlooking Cortina d'Ampezzo, with most breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. A popular destination for mountaineers and climbers, the region offers various routes that cater to all levels of experience, including the famous Via Ferrata routes.

Geologically, Tofana di Mezzo is composed primarily of dolomitic limestone, which gives the Dolomites their characteristic pale color. The mountain has also been of historical significance; during World War I, it was part of the front line between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces. Remnants of trenches and fortifications can still be found in the area, offering a somber reminder of the past.
