Marmolada (Ladin: Marmolèda; German: Marmolata, pronounced [maʁmoˈlaːta] ⓘ) is a mountain in northeastern Italy and the highest mountain of the Dolomites (a section of the Alps). It lies between the borders of Trentino and Veneto. The Marmolada is an ultra-prominent peak (Ultra), known as the "Queen of the Dolomites". In 2009, as part of the Dolomites, the Marmolada massif was named a UNESCO World Heritage site.[2][3] The largest glacier in the Dolomites, the Marmolada Glacier, is located on the northern face of the mountain.[4]
