Since 2003, the Rosengarten Mountain Range – Catinaccio in Italian and Ciadenac, Ciadenáze in the Ladin language of the locals – is part of the Schlern-Rosengarten Nature Reserve. The Rosengarten is located between the Tiers valleys (with the villages Tiers and Welschnofen in Eggental) on the west side and the Fassatal valley on the east side. It runs from north to south, from the Schlern massif in the north to the Karerpass in the south and is about 8 km long.

•The main peak of the Rosengarten is called Rosengartenspitze. This summit is 2,981 m high and therefore just the second highest of the Rosengarten's peaks, but it is the most prominent of the mountain range and is located right in the middle of it. The Rosengartenspitze is about 1 km long, running from NNE to SSW. Its most beautiful ridge consists of the Nordgipfel, or northern peak, (2.919 m), Hauptgipfel, main peak, (2.981 m) and Südgipfel, southern peak (2.913 m). The sheer cliff of the eastern wall (600 m) is the most formidable bluff of this mountain range.
•The British mountaineers Charles Comyns Tucker and T. H. Carson with their guide Francois Devouassoud were the first to scale the Rosengartenspitze on August 31, 1874. They took the route used most commonly these days (via the western slope and northern ridge). This normal route can be reached from Kölner Hütte via the Santnerpass fixed cable route. Or you can climb up from the Vajolet valley in the east (a comparatively long ascent).
•The highest peak of the Rosengarten range is Kesselkogel peak at 3004 m. It can be reached via a fixed cable route from Grasleitenpass. The British mountaineers Charles Comyns Tucker and T. H. Carson with their guide A. Bernard were the first to scale the Kesselkogel in 1873. One of the two fixed cable routes follows the path that the two mountaineers took and makes the Kesselkogel one of the most scaled peaks of the Rosengarten range. The Kesselkogel is not very crowded by other peaks and is therefore the summit with one of the best views of the Dolomites.
•The six Vajolet-Türme (Vajolet "towers") form a ragged rock formation in the center of the Rosengarten range. They are bordered to the north by Vajoletpass (2459 m) and to the south by Laurinspass (2627 m). They are subdivided into three northern and three southern towers, each with its own base, separated by Winklerscharte (2650 m). The three southern towers are the most known peaks. They feature better rock material and thus become the showpiece of the Alps.

They are known as the climbing mountains. Some of the most known routes in the medium difficulty range are located on these towers. During high season, many visitors come to hike here.

LEGEND: King Laurin and his Rosegarden
Long, long time ago, when there were still giants and dwarves in the Alpine valleys, Dwarf King Laurin ruled inside his mountain, known by the name of Rosengarten. He horded incredible treasures, but his most prized possession was his magic cap that made the wearer invisible. Laurin took great pride in an exquisite garden at the gate of his mountain fortress; all year round, this garden was filled with countless blooming red roses. The garden was fenced in with a golden thread of silk so that nobody could pick even one of the roses. Woe to that person who tore the thread apart! Laurin threatened to chop off the left hand and right foot of the perpetrator. One day, Laurin caught sight of the handsome, blond princess Simhild in the neighboring castle. He fell in love with the human girl, made himself invisible with his magic cap and kidnapped her. From that time on, Simhild lived in the mountain world of the king, surrounded by gold, silver and precious stones, waited upon by dainty noblewomen and guarded by dwarf knights. But Simhild was sad and homesick for the flowery meadows. Meanwhile at the castle of her brother Dietleib, everyone was terrified and grieved. While looking for his sister, Dietleib met Dietrich von Bern, king of the Goths. Dietleib and the king and other knights banded together to confront King Laurin. Dietrich was stunned when he saw the beauty of the roses fenced in by the golden thread. His friends, however, tore up the thread and trampled down the roses. In a fit of rage, King Laurin charged against them on a white horse and demanded that the perpetrator have his hand and foot chopped off. An uneven battle ensued, but initially Laurin was able to protect himself with his magic cap. When somebody grabbed it from his head, he lay on the ground pleading for mercy. He was bound and had to take the victors inside his realm, where they freed Simhild. Laurin planned to attack the victors with one thousand dwarves during a meal but the plan failed. The end of the realm of dwarves was at hand. The bound king said a magic word to let the rose garden's beauty die forever: Nobody was ever to see the glory of the roses again, neither during the light of day nor during the dark of night. All that was to stay were naked, pale rocks. However, Laurin forgot to include the dusk of the sunset in his magic word. And thus it is that before the sun sets on the pale mountains, they gleam and glow in fiery hues of red and orange just like the roses of that garden a long time ago.
