EXCURSION:
Snowshoeing or Guided Hike to Broken Fort north of the Asiago Plateau. Lovely place for views of asiago plain and mountains to the south.
The Interrupted Barracks is located above Mount Interrotto and near Mount Mosciagh. During the consumption of the Strafexpedition in these places one of the most valuable acts was performed by the Italian army now at the mercy of the enemy.
The valiant infantry of the 141st Regiment of the Catanzaro Brigade with furious attacks here managed to remove the enemy and save some country batteries. Despite this, the troops of 141 had to withdraw on May 28 to precipitate the situation in other sectors of the front and leave the area permanently in the hands of the enemy.

READING THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY:

The differences in height are contained within 250-300 meters and the length of the itinerary is within three hours. These are a bit long walks that require a sports hiking shoe, not necessarily the pedula or the boot.

The differences in height are contained within 250-400 meters and the length of the itinerary is between 3 - 5 HOURS. These are somewhat long walks that require a hiking sports shoe or boot.
MEDIUM: The itinerary definitely exceeds three hours, it is more complex, takes place on a path with some challenging ascent or descent but passable without the support of mountaineering equipment. The terrain can be bumpy or lack signals. However, the maximum altitude difference remains within 400 meters.

The terrain can be bumpy or lack signals.

The difficulty of the terrain and the distance from the support points require total autonomy. Where indicated there may be a need to bring to the following bivouac material such as the tent, bivouac bag, stove, food, requires training, energy and strong motivation.
WHO WE ARE - HIGHLAND GUIDES
We "Highland Guides" are the first group of professional guides of the Plateau. We are local guides who have been operating on the territory of the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities since 2008. The belonging to the place by the members of the group ensures an intimate knowledge of the proposed goals and a deeply respectful approach to the environment and its history. Our passions for nature, history and sport have led us to choose a life path based on the study of the environment and local history. Graduates in scientific, tourist and sports subjects such as Forestry and Environmental Sciences, Natural Sciences and Motor Sciences we have also specialized in the historical field with courses recognized by the Province of Vicenza. In order to practice professionally, we are regularly enrolled in the professional registers of Environmental Naturalistic Guide (L.R. n. 33 of 2002 of Veneto), or of Medium Mountain Escort (L.R. 23 July 2013, n.18).
