The Veneto region of northern Italy is well known for the Venetian lagoon and city, but around one third of the area is mountainous and contains parts of three mountain ranges. The Dolomites, Alps and Venetian Prealps are all found in the area with the Marmolada mountain in Veneto the highest in the region at over 3,000 metres with the mountain well known for the difficulty of climbing both the north and south faces.
