Description

Crode dei Longerin is a 2,571-metre-elevation (8,435-foot) summit in the Carnic Alps which are a subrange of the Southern Limestone Alps. Set in the Veneto region, the mountain is located five kilometres (3.1 miles) northeast of the municipality of Comelico Superiore. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Piave. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 1,300 m (4,300 ft) above the Digon Valley in approximately 2.5 km (1.6 mi). The north peak is the true summit, but the south peak (2,523 m) is a more accessible climb. [3] The nearest higher mountain is Porze, 2.6 km (1.6 mi) to the north. [1] [2] The mountain's toponym translates as "Crags of Longerin."

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Crode dei Longerin is located in an alpine climate zone with long, cold winters, and short, mild summers. [4] 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 this mountain. [5]
