Cimon della Pala, sometimes called Cimone[1] and The Matterhorn of the Dolomites (il Cervino delle Dolomiti),[2][3] is the best-known peak of the Pale di San Martino group, in the Dolomites, northern Italy. Although it is not the highest peak of the group, the Cima Vezzana being a few metres higher, its slender point, which can be seen from the Rolle Pass, dominates the landscape.[4]
