Dreizinnenhütte (Rifugio Locatelli) seen on loop hike from Fiscalina Valley. Sesto Dolomites, South Tyrol, Moso, Italy.

Dreizinnenhütte (Rifugio Locatelli) seen on the loop hike from Hotel Dolomitenhof in Fiscalina Valley to Zsigmondyhütte (Rifugio Zsigmondy-Comici) (11.6 miles, 3880 feet) in Naturpark Drei Zinnen (Parco Naturale Tre Cime) in the Sexten (Sesto) Dolomites Group, in South Tyrol province (AKA Alto Adige or the Autonomous Province of Bolzano), in Moso, Italy, Europe. Placenames in South Tyrol reflect the WWI stalemate between Austria-Hungary and Italy. On the left is the peak of Paternkofel (Monte Paterno, 9003 ft). On the right are distinctive icons of the Alps known as Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Italian for "Three Peaks of Lavaredo," also called Drei Zinnen or "Three Merlons" in German). Until 1919 the peaks formed part of the border between Italy and Austria. Now they lie on the border between the Italian provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno and still are a part of the linguistic boundary between German-speaking and Italian-speaking majorities. Cima Grande rises to 2999 meters (9839 feet), between Cima Piccola 2857 m (9373 ft) and Cima Ovest or "Western Peak" 2973 m (9754 ft).
