Monte Mulaz is a 2,906-meter-elevation (9,534-foot) summit in the Pale di San Martino group of the Dolomites. The peak is located five kilometers (3.1miles) southwest of Falcade, and the peak is the tenth-highest within Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1] 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 1,050meters (3,445feet) above the Focobon Valley in 1.6kilometers (1mile), and 1,100meters (3,609feet) above the Travignolo Valley in 1.5kilometers (0.93mile). The nearest higher neighbor is Cima del Focobon, 1.26kilometers (0.78mile) to the southeast.[1]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Monte Mulaz is located in an alpine climate zone with long, cold winters, and short, mild summers.[3] 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.[4]
