Wednesday 13 August 2025, 9.30 – 12.30 

Destination: Monte Cengio 

The mule track, the tunnels  and the legendary Salto del Granatiere, make this route one of the most evocative among our mountains. 

In May 1916, with the start of the Spring Offensive, the Italians were forced to retreat until they reached the edge of the plateau. The entire mountain was fortified by building tunnels and passages overlooking the Valdastico below , giving us breathtaking views today. 

The work and sacrifice of the soldiers remains etched among these ledges that can give a mountain of emotions especially with the breathtaking view visible from this route.

Reservations are required.

📈DIFFICULTY: we assign a difficulty 3 on a scale from 1 (very easy) to 5 (challenging)

The route does not present particular technical difficulties, it is characterized by the presence of mountain paths, mule tracks, tunnels and some stretches of asphalt road, rarely trafficked. The mule track is located overlooking the Val d'Astico, the path is made safe by the presence of handrails, but it is still exposed. The elevation gain is less than 350m.
