'''Col de la Pieres''', also spelled '''Col dala Piëres''', is a mountain in the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy.
==Description== Col de la Pieres is a {{convert|2751|meter|ft|adj=mid|-elevation|abbr=off}} summit in the Puez Group of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region, the peak is located 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) north-northeast of the village of Santa Cristina Gherdëina, in Puez-Geisler Nature Park.<ref name=peakvisor/> Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Derjon. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) along the Langental-Vallelunga Valley in approximately 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mile). The nearest higher neighbor is Piz Duleda, 1.7 kilometers (1.05 miles) to the north-northeast.<ref name="pb"/>
==Climate== Based on the Köppen climate classification, Col de la Pieres is located in an alpine climate zone with long, cold winters, and short, mild summers.<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal | author = Peel, M.

The months of June through September offer the most favorable weather for visiting or climbing in this area.<ref>[https://www.moonhoneytravel.com/best-time-to-visit-the-dolomites/ ''Best Time to Visit the Dolomites (+ Months to Avoid)''], Moonhoneytravel.com, Retrieved December 17, 2025.</ref>
