The Rifugio Lambertenghi Romanin (Hut) is located on the Italian side
(just a few meters below the saddle of Wolaya Pass) beneath the
mighty Mt Coglians and Mt Capolago. On the north side of the Pass,
there is a small alpine lake (Lake Wolaya) and the Austrian Hut: Wolayersee Hütte)
Come and discover the beauty of the Carnic Alps, with our
Bothanical and Alpine Guides. For the experts, climb the North
side of Mt. Cogliāns or the Creta della Chianevate.

The Carnic Alps (Alpi
Carniche in Italian, are a large mountain range in the Southern Alps.
The Highest point is the Mt. Cogliāns.
The geology of the Carnic Alps is very complex.
All the area was covered by seas twice for long periods of time. The
first of these seas covered today's Carnic Alps in the Ordovicium Age.
Sediments were formed and 440 million years ago a first "event"
triggered the first build-up of mountains in the area. A porphyry plate
was pushed over the sedimentary rocks. Remains of this plate can still
be seen along the main ridge.
Erosion did away with most of the built-up mountains. Some 350 - 400
million years ago the second sea started to cover the area and overall
it lasted 200 million years. This was the so-called Thetis Sea which
also is responsible for the creation of the Dolomites. Huge coral atolls
were formed the remainders of which are the mountain groups of the
Dolomites. 200 million years ago the final formation of the Alps
began. And here the Carnic Alps Area again was special. The
mountains were folded upwards, but this action took place in the
form of waves which often overtook each other. With the waves "breaking"
over the fault line the layering of the rocks became more and more
complicated. Suddenly (thinking of it on a geological scale) old layers
were sandwiched between younger ones, sometimes even layers of the same
age several 100m apart with layers of all ages in between. And this is
what you still can find in the Carnic Alps today. The area around the
highest summit, Mt. Cogliāns (2782m) is the most complex, and thus most
interesting.
