Description
[edit | edit source]Monte Formin, also known as Ponta Lastoi de Formin, is a 2,657-meter-elevation (8,717-foot) summit situated southeast of Giau Pass in the Dolomites. Set in the Veneto region, the peak is located eight kilometers (5 miles) south-southwest of the town of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Piave. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) above the hamlet of Santa Fosca in three kilometers (1.86 miles). The nearest higher neighbor is Cima Ambrizzola, 1.54 kilometers (0.96 mile) to the east-northeast.[2]
Climate
[edit | edit source]Based on the Köppen climate classification, Monte Formin is located in an alpine climate zone with long, cold winters, and short, mild summers.[3] Weather systems are forced upwards 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.[4]
