Monte Pore (2,405 m) is located in the Eastern Dolomites, between the Giau Pass and the Falzarego Pass, in a panoramic position between the Pelmo, Civetta, Marmolada, and Croda da Lago mountain groups. It is an elegant and isolated mountain, highly appreciated for the 360° views from the summit.

The mountain has grassy slopes in the lower part and more rocky and scree-filled slopes as it climbs. The summit is broad and open, with a summit cross and sweeping views: Pelmo and Civetta dominate the horizon, while on clear days, the view extends as far as the Tofane and Marmolada.

• Starting point: Giau Pass (2,236 m)
• Trail: Unnumbered CAI trails + clearly marked path
