Geography
The Brenta Group is separated from:
- the Ortler Alps in the north by the Noce Valley
- the Adamello-Presanella group in the west by the Campo Carlo Magno Pass and the river Sarca
- the Fiemme Alps in the east by the Adige valley.
It is the only dolomitic group west of river Adige.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
