The 2,875 m high Sass de Putia gives its name to this mountain group, which is located between the Valle Isarco and the Val Badia
The small Putia Group is located near the municipalities of Funes and San Martino in Badia, thus between the Valle Isarco and the Val Badia valleys. The highest mountain is Mt. Sass de Putia with 2,875 m a.s.l. The Forcella di Putia separates the mountain group into two parts: To the east, the ridge with Mt. Sass de Putia stretches towards the Val Badia, to the west there's a forested mountain ridge towards the Valle Isarco and the Odle di Eores. Important peaks here are Mt. Tullen (2,652 m a.s.l.), the Welscher Ring (2,607 m a.s.l.) and Mt. Confin (2,625 m a.s.l.). Towards south-west there is another mountain ridge with the famous 2,418 m high Mt. Col di Poma.
In the north the Putia Group stretches until the Passo delle Erbe in the Luson Mountains, where the witches dance under the July full moon, and in the south until the Odle and Puez Groups. Large parts are protected in the Puez-Odle Nature Park. The area offers fantastic hiking tours, like to the Genova Mountain Hut (2,297 m a.s.l.) in the Val di Funes, from where the summit of Mt. Col di Poma is easily accessible, and the mountain tour on the Sasso Putia.
