WHY THIS HIKE

Cima della Caldiera and Ortigiara

Escursione guidata ad anello nei luoghi simbolo della Prima Guerra Mondiale in Altopiano. Percorreremo vecchie carrarecce e mulattiere militari che ci porteranno dapprima sulla Cima della Caldiera e poi sul Monte Ortigara. In questi luoghi nel giugno del 1917 si combatté una delle più cruente e sanguinose battaglie della Grande Guerra che registrò decine di migliaia di Caduti: La Battaglia dell’Ortigara, conosciuta anche come Calvario degli Alpini.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Enrico, a hiking guide. The mountains have always been my passion: I live them on foot, running or on MTB in summer, with snowshoes and ski touring in winter. I love discovering them in every season and every hour of the day, from sunrise to sunset, sometimes even at night. I know well the Colli Berici, the Vicenza Prealps, the Piccole Dolomiti, the Asiago Plateau and Sette Comuni area, and the Belluno and Trentino Dolomites, where I also organize snowshoe outings and multi-day treks with overnight stays in mountain huts. What I love most is telling the story of these places and helping you feel the nature that lives in them, passing on a sense of calm, fun and emotion, even when the effort gets real. I offer day hikes, multi-day treks, "on demand" outings in places you choose, and I can also help you plan routes to do on your own or pick the right gear. With me you'll get to truly enjoy the mountains, always safely. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
