TheFiemme Mountains, sometimes also theFleimstal Alps (German:Fleimstaler Alpen) orFiemme Dolomites (Italian:Dolomiti di Fiemme), are a mountain range of theSouthern Limestone Alps in theItalian region ofTrentino-South Tyrol. The range was named after theFiemme Valley (Italian:Val di Fiemme; German:Fleimstal).
It is located between theSarntal Alps, theDolomites, theVicentine Alps, theGarda Mountains, theBrenta and theNonsberg Group. In theAlpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps (AVE) of 1984, the Fiemme Mountains are bounded as follows: the northern end is formed by the town ofBolzano from where the boundary continues southeast along theEggental valley, over theZanggenjoch andSatteljoch passes toPredazzo. Next it runs throughPaneveggio and over theRolle Pass into theCismon Valley as far asMezzano. It then crosses theGóbbera andBrocon Passes toPieve Tesino andStrigno into theSugana Valley. Finally it runs along theMocheni Valley toTrento, from where follows theEtschtal valley once again toBolzano.[1]
In theSouth Tyrolean part of the Fiemme Mountains is theTrudner Horn Nature Park.
