The 'Catinaccio' (German: 'Rosengarten') is a massif in the Dolomites, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, northern Italy. It is located between the Tiers, Eggental and Fassa Valleys, c. 10 km east to Bolzano.
One peculiarity of the Catinaccio is the pink shade which it takes in the sunset, due to the presence of dolomite mineral; the German name means indeed "Garden of Roses".

★ Rosengartenspitze (Cima Catinaccio, 2,981 m)
