and is part of the geological sector of the Western Dolomites. Among its most famous peaks appear Cimon della Pala, known as the \u201cMatterhorn of the Dolomites\u201d, Vezzana, which at 3192 m is the highest peak in the Group, Rosetta, Pala di San Martino, Sass Maor, and Cima della Madonna, among others. The complex geologic history of the Pale di San Martino reveals a long succession of rocks, from the oldest to the most recent, emerging at the base of the white dolomite walls of the Pale, brought to light during long geologic time by the action of erosion. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1d4318 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a1d4318\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a2aad elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"67a2aad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;arrows&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper swiper-image-stretch\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"67a2aad\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NzQyMSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3BhbGFyb25kYXRyZWsuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvZG9sb21pdGkuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiNjdhMmFhZCJ9\" href=\"https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/dolomiti.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/dolomiti.jpg\" alt=\"dolomiti\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fc9b4e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1fc9b4e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"dolomia\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d28b1e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d28b1e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Different types of Dolomites<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b43980f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b43980f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Variations of a rock<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42b4464 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"42b4464\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51f7694 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51f7694\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we dive into the depths of the history of the rock layers that prelude the formation of the Pale di San Martino, let us pause briefly to talk about the most famous rock in this area, namely dolomite.

These rock formations have developed in the shallows of a Caribbean-type sea, growing to thicknesses of more than 1,000 meters due to a constant lowering of the seafloor (subsidence). The resulting reefs gave rise to the majestic walls of the Pale di San Martino and other Dolomite groups, including the Catinaccio, Latemar, Sciliar, Marmolada, and Puez-Odle groups. In the first phase (Ladinic), the reefs grew mainly vertically (aggradation), and the resulting rocks are known as <strong>Schlern Dolomite<\/strong>. In the later Carnic phase, however, we see horizontal reef accretion (progradation), with reef development from the core toward the outer edges, giving rise to the <strong>Cassian Dolomite<\/strong>. Examples of these rock formations include the lower and massive part of the Sella, the Sassolungo group with the Sassopiatto that corresponds to the edge of the cliff and preserves its inclination, but also Lagazuoi, Nuvolau, Cadini di Misurina, and Monte Piana.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b150d60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b150d60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Palaronda-Ferrata-360-13.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6858\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Palaronda-Ferrata-360-13.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Palaronda-Ferrata-360-13-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Palaronda-Ferrata-360-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Palaronda-Ferrata-360-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04bf34c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"04bf34c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f30b04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f30b04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stratified Dolomites<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5e7d93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-lightbox\" data-id=\"d5e7d93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-lightbox.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div data-lightbox-type=\"lightbox_type_template\" data-lightbox-type-url=\"\" data-lightbox-trigger-pageload=\"1\" data-lightbox-closebtn-color=\"#333333\" class=\"eael-lightbox-wrapper\" data-trigger=\"eael_lightbox_trigger_button\" data-lightbox-id=\"lightbox_69e1b18774a3e\" data-type=\"inline\" data-src=\"#eael-lightbox-window-69e1b18774a3e\" data-popup-layout=\"eael-lightbox-popup-standard\" data-main-class=\"eael-lightbox-modal-popup-d5e7d93\" data-close_button=\"yes\" data-esc_exit=\"yes\" data-click_exit=\"yes\" data-effect=\"animated \" data-trigger-element=\".eael-modal-popup-link-69e1b18774a3e\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"btn-eael-lightbox-69e1b18774a3e\" class=\"eael-modal-popup-button eael-modal-popup-link eael-modal-popup-link-69e1b18774a3e elementor-button elementor-size-md elementor-animation-shrink\" tabindex=\"0\">Learn more<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div><!-- close .eael-lightbox-btn -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-popup-window eael-lightbox-popup-window-d5e7d93 lightbox_type_template\" id=\"eael-lightbox-window-69e1b18774a3e\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-8081 .elementor-element.elementor-element-3b2f07a{--display:flex;--flex-direction:row;--container-widget-width:calc( ( 1 -

This sedimentary environment, different from the previously mentioned Caribbean-type sea, is characterized by sedimentation influenced by the ebb and flow of the tides (we have to imagine tides much larger than those in the Mediterranean Sea). This rock system is known as <strong>Main Dolomite<\/strong>, and is characterized by well-stratified rocks and a laminar structure. The formation of these rocks occurred in cycles known as peritidal cycles, characterized by alternating periods when the sea completely covered the reefs, with periods when the tide went from high to low. These rocks rise above 1,000 meters in the Eastern Dolomites (east of Rio Cordevole and Val Badia), giving rise to the famous walls of the Tofane, Cristallo, and Tre Cime di Lavaredo. In contrast, the Main Dolomite is less thick in the Western Dolomites. In addition, this formation is often characterized by the frequent presence of hematitic dispersions, which give reddish-brown hues to the rock.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b150d60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b150d60\"

The dolomites we can admire today in the Pale di San Martino result from a process of chemical transformation of limestones, called <\/span><b>dolomitization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, made possible by the circulation of magnesium-rich waters, which allowed an exchange between dissolved magnesium salts and calcium carbonate in seafloor rocks, changing their chemical composition.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Dolomites owe their name to the Frenchman D\u00e9odat de Dolomieu, who, more than two centuries ago, fascinated by the beauty of these mountains, collected several rock samples and noticed that they did not react to hydrochloric acid, unlike limestones. The analysis of his teacher, the Swiss De Saussure, made it possible to discover that this was an unknown rock composed of a <\/span><b>double carbonate of calcium and magnesium<\/b>, <span

Keep in mind that at this stage, the dolomite area is located on the seafloor of a tropical marine environment, similar to that of today&#8217;s Maldives or Bahamas: a shallow sea floor with warm, clear, well-oxygenated waters and a tropical climate. In short, a perfect environment to encourage the proliferation of a wide range of organisms, such as calcareous algae, mollusks, corals, and sponges. Over the course of about 4-5 million years, the gradual accumulation of coral constructions, organism shells, shells, and calcareous algae gave rise to a set of <strong>massive coral reefs<\/strong>. It sounds unbelievable, but the most impressive of these reefs is the one you can see today along the Palaronda treks, namely the immense Pale Plateau and the majestic peaks that surround it. Now let&#8217;s see in detail, how the Pale di San Martino were formed. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"8\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"8 of 10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23f5f77 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"23f5f77\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ece741 elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"6ece741\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"7891\" class=\"elementor elementor-7891 elementor-4786\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05b67ab e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"05b67ab\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2a6dd8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c2a6dd8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8ae214 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8ae214\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The lowering of the seabed and the growth of reefs <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-871f2dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"871f2dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An extraordinary aspect of <strong>how the Pale di San Martino and the Dolomites were formed<\/strong> is the fortunate combination of conditions that allowed the coral reefs to develop so impressively. Corals, the main builders of reefs, require not only clean water and tropical temperatures, but especially sunlight in order to thrive. To be reached by the sun&#8217;s rays, the seabed on which corals grow must be relatively shallow. How, then, is it possible to explain the enormous thickness reached by Ladinian reefs, which in some cases exceed 1,500 meters in height, as in the walls of the Agner? This was made possible by a <strong>steady process of seafloor lowering<\/strong>, known as <strong>subsidence<\/strong>, which has occurred slowly but continuously for about 5 million years. This phenomenon forced corals and other organisms to grow upward to reach sunlight, expanding \u201cabove\u201d the remnants of their predecessors and contributing to the vertical growth of reefs (process of <strong>aggradation<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\"

Well, this is not the only volcanic phenomenon that has affected the geological history of the Dolomites. In fact, while coral reefs grew in the tropical seas, deeper down a huge fluid magmatic cluster formed. As the pressure increases, this magma slowly begins to push upward, injecting itself into the cracks in the overlying dolomitic rocks. These lavas, once solidified, gave rise to numerous <strong>strands of dark rocks<\/strong>, known as <strong>porphyritic strands<\/strong>, which you can observe along the Palaronda trails that pass near the <strong>Mulaz <\/strong> and <strong>Focob\u00f2n <\/strong> groups in the northern part of the Pale. It is at this stage that the two volcanoes of Predazzo and Monzoni are formed, whose million-year activity has produced large quantities of volcanic rocks, which lay on the slopes of the Ladinian coral reefs, sometimes even to the point of covering them. This phenomenon had the incredible effect of preserving them from erosion.

You now possess all the information you need to be able to recognize the various rocks in the Pale di San Martino area as you hike along the Palaronda routes. However, there is one final missing piece, represented by a crucial event in Italian geological history, without which these rocks would not have become mountains: the <strong>Alpine orogeny<\/strong>. This process occurs as an effect of the convergent movement, to the point of collision, between the African plate, which included the dolomitic area, and the Eurasian plate. The enormous compressive forces generated by this event caused uplifts between three and five kilometers, giving us the breathtaking spectacle we can admire today. In the next part, you can learn more about the aspects related to the <strong>shaping of the diverse dolomitic landscape<\/strong>, which was created by the combination of orogenic and erosion forces. The latter, played an important role in carving the Dolomites into their hard, vertical morphologies as we can observe them today. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M646 125C629 125 613 133 604 142L308 442C296 454 292 471 292 487 292 504 296 521 308 533L604 854C617 867 629 875 646 875 663 875 679 871 692 858 704 846 713 829 713 812 713 796 708 779 692 767L438 487 692 225C700 217 708 204 708 187 708 171 704 154 692 142 675 129 663 125 646 125Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M696 533C708 521 713 504 713 487 713 471 708 454 696 446L400 146C388 133 375 125 354 125 338 125 325 129 313 142 300 154 292 171 292 187 292 204 296 221 308 233L563 492 304 771C292 783 288 800 288 817 288 833 296 850 308 863 321 871 338 875 354 875 371 875 388 867 400 854L696 533Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a61acb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0a61acb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21730d7 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"21730d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"8103\" class=\"elementor elementor-8103 elementor-4244\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-808abfd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"808abfd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e569df8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e569df8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32bbd4a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"32bbd4a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79e9d75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"79e9d75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">From the Paleozoic to the Quaternary: the metamorphic basement <br>\n542 - 300 m.a. \n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ed27c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ed27c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this vast time span, we see the formation of the <\/span> <b> Southalpine Crystalline Basement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a very ancient rock substrate formed by metamorphic rocks.

In these formations, it is common to find so-called &#8220;ripple-marks,&#8221; or bottom prints left by wave movement, which give us a 250-million-year-old snapshot of the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec86126 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"ec86126\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"8095\" class=\"elementor elementor-8095 elementor-4273\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-808abfd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"808abfd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e569df8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e569df8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32bbd4a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"32bbd4a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79e9d75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"79e9d75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Middle Triassic: the seafloor rises and falls again <br>\n247 - 242 m.a.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ed27c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ed27c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the vertical uplift of the Western Dolomites that occurred during the Anisian, the early part of the Middle Triassic, which led to the erosion of the werphenian rocks and the formation of the <\/span> <b>Richthofen Conglomerates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another major change affected the region about 240 million years ago.

Keep in mind that at this stage, the dolomite area is located on the seafloor of a tropical marine environment, similar to that of today&#8217;s Maldives or Bahamas: a shallow sea floor with warm, clear, well-oxygenated waters and a tropical climate. In short, a perfect environment to encourage the proliferation of a wide range of organisms, such as calcareous algae, mollusks, corals, and sponges. Over the course of about 4-5 million years, the gradual accumulation of coral constructions, organism shells, shells, and calcareous algae gave rise to a set of <strong>massive coral reefs<\/strong>. It sounds unbelievable, but the most impressive of these reefs is the one you can see today along the Palaronda treks, namely the immense Pale Plateau and the majestic peaks that surround it.

Corals, the main builders of reefs, require not only clean water and tropical temperatures, but especially sunlight in order to thrive. To be reached by the sun&#8217;s rays, the seabed on which corals grow must be relatively shallow. How, then, is it possible to explain the enormous thickness reached by Ladinian reefs, which in some cases exceed 1,500 meters in height, as in the walls of the Agner? This was made possible by a <strong>steady process of seafloor lowering<\/strong>, known as <strong>subsidence<\/strong>, which has occurred slowly but continuously for about 5 million years. This phenomenon forced corals and other organisms to grow upward to reach sunlight, expanding \u201cabove\u201d the remnants of their predecessors and contributing to the vertical growth of reefs (process of <strong>aggradation<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\"

Well, this is not the only volcanic phenomenon that has affected the geological history of the Dolomites. In fact, while coral reefs grew in the tropical seas, deeper down a huge fluid magmatic cluster formed. As the pressure increases, this magma slowly begins to push upward, injecting itself into the cracks in the overlying dolomitic rocks. These lavas, once solidified, gave rise to numerous <strong>strands of dark rocks<\/strong>, known as <strong>porphyritic strands<\/strong>, which you can observe along the Palaronda trails that pass near the <strong>Mulaz <\/strong> and <strong>Focob\u00f2n <\/strong> groups in the northern part of the Pale. It is at this stage that the two volcanoes of Predazzo and Monzoni are formed, whose million-year activity has produced large quantities of volcanic rocks, which lay on the slopes of the Ladinian coral reefs, sometimes even to the point of covering them. This phenomenon had the incredible effect of preserving them from erosion. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ef81b0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9ef81b0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-359c7a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"359c7a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">From limestone to dolomite: dolomitization\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-724a8c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"724a8c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the initial stage, the reefs were formed by limestone rocks. The dolomites we can admire today in the Pale di San Martino result from a process of chemical transformation of limestones, called <\/span><b>dolomitization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, made possible by the circulation of magnesium-rich waters, which allowed an exchange between dissolved magnesium salts and calcium carbonate in seafloor rocks, changing their chemical composition.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Dolomites owe their name to the Frenchman D\u00e9odat de Dolomieu, who, more than two centuries ago, fascinated by the beauty of these mountains, collected several rock samples and noticed that they did not react to hydrochloric acid, unlike limestones. The analysis of his teacher, the Swiss De Saussure, made it possible to discover that this was an unknown rock composed of a <\/span><b>double carbonate of calcium and magnesium<\/b>, <span

You now possess all the information you need to be able to recognize the various rocks in the Pale di San Martino area as you hike along the Palaronda routes. However, there is one final missing piece, represented by a crucial event in Italian geological history, without which these rocks would not have become mountains: the <strong>Alpine orogeny<\/strong>. This process occurs as an effect of the convergent movement, to the point of collision, between the African plate, which included the dolomitic area, and the Eurasian plate. The enormous compressive forces generated by this event caused uplifts between three and five kilometers, giving us the breathtaking spectacle we can admire today. In the next part, you can learn more about the aspects related to the <strong>shaping of the diverse dolomitic landscape<\/strong>, which was created by the combination of orogenic and erosion forces. The latter, played an important role in carving the Dolomites into their hard, vertical morphologies as we can observe them today. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38dea3a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"38dea3a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5bb97c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e5bb97c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"comportamento\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9f5ad5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b9f5ad5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcd9a6c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bcd9a6c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-224d8c4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"224d8c4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d61260 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9d61260\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The dolomite landscape<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-743a699 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"743a699\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">White rock faces among green meadows<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b7c61e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b7c61e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to geological features, the Dolomites are also included among UNESCO World Heritage Sites for the uniqueness and complexity of their landscape. Whether you are an experienced expert of the Dolomites or it is your first time visiting these areas, you have undoubtedly noticed how these rocks are characterized by distinctive shapes, in which each mountain has its own well-defined individuality, which makes it easy to recognize and distinguish it from the others. The profile outlined by the Cimon della Pala from Passo Rolle, the vertical walls that form each slope of the Pala di San Martino, the numerous Tower Bells of Val di Roda, Sass Maor with the Velo della Madonna: each of these peaks stands out for its extraordinary individuality thanks to its complex morphologies, which reflect a long and intricate geological history. But how did such a complex landscape develop? You can find out in this final part, where you will understand how different rock types, from the hardest to the softest, behave and react differently to erosion and tectonic compressive stresses.

considerable resistance to erosion. Despite being exposed to the action of atmospheric precipitation, wind and glaciers, their massive structure makes them less vulnerable to rapid erosion. This leads to the formation of the typical steep profiles, the sheer and jagged shapes that characterize the Pale di San Martino. Their vertical walls also make them prone to collapsing landslides, which, although contributing to erosion, still preserve the mountain&#8217;s verticality. These rocks have their own way of responding to the extraordinary compressive forces of the Alpine orogeny-the collision of the African and Eurasian plates that resulted in the formation of the Alps. Because of their compact structure and very thick layers, these rocks tend to behave rigidly, splitting into numerous faults and fractures.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\"

the Livinallongo Formation. These rocks are more degradable, and therefore erosion affects them more powerfully, resulting in gentle morphologies with rounded profiles and landscapes characterized by mild slopes. During orogenesis these rocks react to tectonic forces by deforming plastically, giving rise to evident folds. An example of this phenomenon can be observed at Malga Fosse di Sopra or Passo Valles, or at the Rio Marmol along the road from San Martino to Passo Rolle, where spectacular examples of these folds can be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\"

degradable rocks more strongly and leaving the more resistant rocks in morphological prominence instead. During the most intense phases of Alpine orogeny, stiffer rocks therefore created important fault and fracture systems: as we have seen, these rocks do not form folds, but tend to fracture. These fractures in turn have effects on the action of erosion: along them, in fact, especially if they are vertical fractures, erosion acts more powerfully (for example, through the action of water, falling debris, and the action of glaciers). It is along these fractures that the most important gullies and valleys of the Pale Plateau, such as Valle delle Comelle, Valle dei Cantoni, Valle delle Galline, Val Grande and Val Pradidali will form. The formation of these gullies makes the peaks of the Pale group, with their towers and vertical walls, stand out even more. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f28ae17 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-image-accordion\" data-id=\"f28ae17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-image-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"eael-img-accordion accordion-direction-horizontal eael-img-accordion-horizontal-align-center eael-img-accordion-vertical-align-center\" id=\"eael-img-accordion-f28ae17\" data-img-accordion-id=\"f28ae17\" data-img-accordion-type=\"on-hover\">\n                    \n            <div class=\"eael-image-accordion-hover eael-image-accordion-item\" style=\"background-image: url(http:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Trek_web-8.jpg);\"  tabindex=\"0\">\n                <div class=\"overlay\">\n                                        <div class=\"overlay-inner \">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    \n            <div class=\"eael-image-accordion-hover eael-image-accordion-item\" style=\"background-image: url(http:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Mulaz-49.jpg);\"  tabindex=\"0\">\n                <div class=\"overlay\">\n                                        <div class=\"overlay-inner \">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    \n            <div class=\"eael-image-accordion-hover eael-image-accordion-item\" style=\"background-image: url(http:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pradidali_web-19.jpg);\"  tabindex=\"0\">\n                <div class=\"overlay\">\n                                        <div class=\"overlay-inner \">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    \n            <div class=\"eael-image-accordion-hover eael-image-accordion-item\" style=\"background-image: url(http:\/\/palarondatrek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Palaronda-Ferrata-360-15.jpg);\"  tabindex=\"0\">\n                <div class=\"overlay\">\n                                        <div class=\"overlay-inner \">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n        <style typr=\"text\/css\">\n                    #eael-img-accordion-f28ae17 .eael-image-accordion-hover:hover {\n                        flex: 3 1 0% !important;\n                    }\n                    #eael-img-accordion-f28ae17 .eael-image-accordion-hover:hover:hover .overlay-inner * {\n                        opacity: 1;\n                        visibility: visible;\n                        transform: none;\n                        transition: all .3s .3s;\n                    }\n                <\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3e5276 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f3e5276\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ffab8c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6ffab8c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An open-air geological museum A passion for trekking in the mountains is probably what made you discover the stunning Pale di San Martino, the beautiful Palaronda tours, and the Dolomites in general.
