Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Italy

Let"s talk about one of the planet"s towering giants. Meet the Tre Cime di Lavaredo or the "Three Peaks of Lavaredo," standing tall on the right in today"s image. Part of the Sexten Dolomites in northeastern Italy, they are one of the most famous mountain groups in the Alps, rising to an elevation of 2,999 metres. These three peaks—Cima Grande, Cima Ovest and Cima Piccola—are a UNESCO World Heritage Site that captivates adventurers and nature lovers alike.
