Guided excursion Monte Fior and the Melettes, between history and geology of the plateau with GUIDE ALTOPIANO - Mountain Professionals
Mount Fior and the Melettes of Foza between 1916 and 1917 will be at the forefront. In 1916 the first Battle of the Melettes and then in 1917 with the battle of arrest, the whole territory will be the scene of bloody clashes. Today, however, peace and tranquility reigns, sheep and cattle graze and the meadows are no longer battlefields, but lush huts.
The characteristic "Rock Crowns" of ammonitic red in contrast to color with the verdant pastures make the area unique. From Mt Fior 1824 m.s.l.m. we will enjoy an exceptional vantage point where our gaze can range in 360 degrees. To the west the Altopianese conca with Gallio in the foreground, then Asiago, Camporovere, Canove, as well as a magnificent overview of the entire high area, Portule, Cima Larici, Cima XI and XII, Ortigara, Calidiera.
On clear days you can see the Brenta group and the Lagoraichain. To the south the village of Foza, the Brenta Canal and at the bottom, as Emilio Lussu also wrote in "a year on the Plateau" .. Venice. Venice!
Everywhere you can still see the remains and traces of the war that between 1916 and 1918, shocked our countries and our mountains; now recovered and included in the project "Ecomuseum of the Vicentine Prealps" – The Places of War and Literature-.
