Die Cinque Torri (deutsch: fünf Türme) sind eine bis zu 2.361 m s.l.m. hohe Felsformation in den Dolomiten an der Strecke zwischen dem Falzaregopass und Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Die Cinque Torri bestehen aus steilen Türmen, die ursprünglich einmal einen ganzen großen Felsblock bildeten. Die fünf Haupttürme, die Namensgeber, nennen sich Torre Grande, Torre Seconda, Torre Latina, Torre Quarta und Torre Inglese, wobei auch abweichende Benennungen verbreitet sind. Der Höchste ist der 2.361 m hohe Torre Grande, der neben dem Hauptgipfel Cima Nord auch noch die Nebentürme Cima Sud und Cima Ovest. Anfang Juni 2004 ist eine schroffe, 50 m hohe Felsnadel namens Trephor aufgrund natürlicher Erosion zusammengebrochen.

Die Cinque Torri sind ein beliebtes Ziel von Wanderern und Kletterern und durch zahlreiche Routen ab dem III. Schwierigkeitsgrad erschlossen. In der Umgebung befinden sich mehrere Schutzhütten, darunter das nach den Türmen benannte Rifugio Cinque Torri (2.137 m)und das Rifugio Scoiattoli (2.255 m).

Ein Freilichtmuseum mit nachgebauten Schützenstellungen erinnert an die Kampfhandlungen während des Ersten Weltkriegs unterhalb der Cinque Torri zwischen Österreich und Italien.

The Cinque Torri (German: five towers) are one of up to 2,361 m slm high rock formation in the Dolomites in the distance between the Falzaregopass and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

The Cinque Torri consist of steep towers that once formed originally one whole big boulder. The five main towers, the names of donors, call themselves Torre Grande, Seconda Torre, Torre Latina, Quarta Torre and Torre Inglese, which are also widely differing denominations. The highest is the 2,361 m high Torre Grande, next to the main summit of Cima also the North side and South towers Cima Cima Ovest. In early June 2004 is a rugged, collapsed 50 m high rock pinnacle called Trephor due to natural erosion.

The Cinque Torri are a popular destination for walkers and climbers and through numerous routes from the III. Difficulty developed. In the vicinity are several shelters, including one named after the towers Rifugio Cinque Torri (2,137 m) and the Scoiattoli Refuge (2,255 m).

An open air museum with reconstructed firing positions reminiscent of the fighting during the First World War under the Cinque Torri between Austria and Italy.
