The 20 Most Amazing Peaks around Volano

Monte Cornetto, along with Cima Verde and Dos d'Abramo, is one of the peaks that make up the famous "Tre Cime del Bondone"; it's probably the one with the best panoramic views. From here, the view opens up to a 360° panorama of the Brenta Dolomites, Adamello, Paganella, the Lessinia Mountains, the Garda Prealps, Carega, and the Lagorai mountain range. The climb to the summit cross features easy rock sections, but requires hands.

Spectacular tunnel from the First World War: endless, steep, humid, and completely dark. A flashlight is essential. Currently (2025), the summit is closed due to a collapse: from below, it is accessed via the Franco Galli Equipped Path; from above, by circumnavigating the Corno bastion and climbing a challenging vertical metal ladder about fifteen meters high. EE. Corno Battisti is a rocky outcrop dominating the Vallarsa Valley. Due to its strategic position, it was fiercely contested during the First World War. At the beginning of the conflict, it was in Italian hands, but with the Strafexpedition of 1916, the Austro-Hungarians occupied it; the Italian army, unable to retake it, dug a mine tunnel from below to pierce the Corno and blow up the summit; the Imperials, in turn, dug a countermine tunnel from above. Everything was ready for the detonation, but a coup by a few brave men allowed the Italians to conquer the summit, which they held until the end of the war!

Corno Battisti, an isolated rocky bastion of the Pasubio Group, overlooking the Vallarsa Valley, offers a spectacular view of the long valley and the surrounding mountains: Pasubio, Sengio Alto, Carega, and Monte Zugna. Precisely because of its strategic position, it was fiercely contested during the First World War: the ability to monitor all troop and supply movements along the valley floor from up there made Corno a crucial point to be occupied and defended at all costs... it was in fact nicknamed "the eye of Pasubio" or "the spy of Vallarsa." At the beginning of the conflict, it was a garrison of the Italian army, but with the Strafexpedition of 1916, it was occupied by the Austro-Hungarians. Unable to recapture it, the Italians dug a mine tunnel from below to pierce the Corno and blow up the summit; the Imperials, in turn, dug a countermine tunnel from above. Everything was ready for the detonation, but a coup by a few brave men allowed the peak to be retaken by the Royal Army, which held it until the end of the war. The Austro-Hungarian observatory still survives at the summit. The bowels of the promontory are instead carved out by a surprising and easily navigable labyrinth of dark, damp tunnels with steep steps (EE). In 1916, near the summit, the Austro-Hungarians captured the irredentists Cesare Battisti and Fabio Filzi. They were immediately taken to Trento and hanged at Buonconsiglio Castle as traitors. For this reason, the peak, known at the time as 'Corno della Vallarsa', was renamed 'Corno Battisti' after the war. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Corno_Battisti https://www.esercito.difesa.it/storia/pagine/monte-corno.aspx

Great view of Lake Garda!

Beautiful 3-hour trip from the Viote plain. Priceless panorama of both the Brenta and Adamello mountains and the valleys of the lakes and the Adige valley!

Beautiful excursion to Mount Stivo, great views from up there. Made with beautiful snow.

Very beautiful stretch of route along the Etsch. The entire stage, which leads through an impressive landscape, is very varied. Well-developed cycle paths, great places, friendly people, a relaxed tour. It seems that it gets a little better and more beautiful each time. Recommended.

From Monte Cornetto, which lies at 2178m, you have a great view of the Sarca Valley and beyond.
