Built from 1906 in anticipation of a conflict against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the fortress of Punta Corbin was only active for a short time and then occupied by the Austrians during the Strafexpedition of 1916. After the retreat of the opponents, it returned to Italian hands and was used as an observatory until the end of the war. In the post-war period it was first abandoned by the state and later damaged by recoverers until in 1942 it was sold by the state and was purchased by the Panozzo family,who still own it and take care of its restoration. For several years a museum and teaching activity has been carried out and the fort is part of the Rete Musei Alto Vicentino. It is an increasingly popular destination for school children and tourists, who can visit the fortress with the help of a map with the explained route, a written guide or an escort.

Punta Corbin Fort is a very articulated military structure that covers an area of 22 thousand m². To allow a full visit, a visit route marked by arrows and numbers has been developed that guarantees the visitor to see all the various parts of the fort without neglecting anything unintentionally. The visit lasts at least half an hour, but for a proper knowledge of the place and its history it is worth dedicating about an hour and a half, time that allows you to read the various in-depth panels that are placed along the way and admire the surrounding landscape. The visit can be done independently, with the help of a map that is delivered at the time of purchase of the entrance ticket. For those who want a more comprehensive visit, there is the option to request aguide, with a small surcharge.

Its geographical position makes Fort Corbin a destination or intermediate stage of several marked paths and routes. From Treschè Conca you can reach the fort with the CAI 804 path. Then, the CAI 635 connects the fort to the Astico Valley (Pedescala). These two paths, joined to CAI 633,constitute a long loop route through the Valdassa. Otherwise, with a walk of about an hour you can reach Monte Cengio where you can complete the historical route by also visiting the sacred area of the Granatieri.

Alternatively, for a very easy and family-friendly one-hour walk even with strollers, you can follow the main road that leads to the fort starting from the church of Treschè Conca.
