52 Tunnels of Pasubio Trek: the WWI path carved into the rock
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
Fifty-two tunnels carved by hand into the rock. A story of war and ingenuity you walk through, tunnel after tunnel, headlamp in hand and breath held.
The 52 Tunnels Trail on Mount Pasubio is one of the most incredible works of World War I: built in under ten months in 1917 to supply Italian troops while sheltering them from enemy fire. You start from the parking area along the old military road and step straight into the first tunnel. From there, the galleries follow one after another, each different, with panels telling the story of who dug them. After about three hours you reach the Achille Papa Refuge, then return along the scenic Strada degli Scarubbi: 16 km, 900 meters of elevation gain. A headlamp is required: it's pitch black inside.
Why travel with us
- Walk through history inside the mountain itself
- Full loop: tunnels on the way out, panoramic views on the way back
- Intermediate difficulty, great for hiking lovers
- The right crew for an adventure worth telling

Simone
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Simone, a mid-mountain leader, a UIMLA International Mountain Leader and a cycle touring guide specialising in e-bikes. I turned my greatest passion into a profession, and I live the mountains all year round among trails, summits and spectacular views. I love taking people out to discover a place, sharing not only the beauty of nature but the history, the traditions and the culture that make each spot singular: they're the part that stays once the view has been photographed. Whether it's a panoramic trek, a high-altitude adventure or an e-bike outing, the goal is to let you live the mountains genuinely and fully. 🥾🚵 See you in the mountains, Guidders!

52 Tunnels of Pasubio Trek: the WWI path carved into the rock
September 26, 2026
Da una parte, sono soddisfatto di aver finalmente percorso un sentiero carico di significato storico (legato a uno degli avvenimenti che hanno plasmato di più la storia italiana), da cui si possono ammirare paesaggi mozzafiato. Dall’altra, penso che le esperienze di Guiddy, in generale, potrebbero rivelarsi più piacevoli, se l’organizzazione generale tramite il gruppo Telegram venisse avviata con maggiore anticipo del solito: almeno una settimana prima per le escursioni e i cammini di durata inferiore o uguale a una settimana e almeno tre mesi prima per quei viaggi che implicano la prenotazione di un volo per un paese estero. Ciò garantirebbe maggiori attenzione, precisione e chiarezza e minore incertezza logistica.
