'''Cima Canali''' is a mountain in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol of northern Italy.
==Description== Cima Canali is a {{convert|2900.|meter|ft|adj=mid|-elevation|abbr=off}} summit in the Pale di San Martino group of the Dolomites. The peak is located seven kilometers (4.35 miles) north of Primiero San Martino di Castrozza and within Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Cismon. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1300 meters (4,265 feet) above the Rio Pradidali in one kilometer (0.6 mile), and 640 meters (2,100 feet) above the Rifugio Pradidali in one-half kilometer (0.3 mile). The nearest higher neighbor is Cima di Fradusta, 1.08 kilometers (0.67 mile) to the northeast.<ref name="pb">{{cite peakbagger|id=195621|name=Cima Canali, Italy|access-date=October 20, 2025}}</ref> The first ascent of the summit was made on August 30, 1879, by Michele Bettega and Charles Comyns Tucker via the west slope and the south ridge.<ref name=Camp2>[https://www.camptocamp.org/waypoints/288344/fr/cima-canali ''Cima Canali''], Camptocamp.org, Retrieved October 20, 2025.</ref> The north wall was first climbed on July 14, 1894, by Wilfred Leslie Waldegrave Brodie and Giuseppe Zecchini.<ref name=Camp2/>
