WHY THIS HIKE
The Novegno Massif
I soldati austriaci chiamavano il massiccio del Novegno Letzer Berg, cioè l'Ultimo Monte, perché si trattava dell'estremo baluardo che li separava dalla pianura veneta.

The experience
Partiremo dal parcheggio delle Posse Longhe, dove lasceremo le auto e in poco tempo raggiungereme Busa Novegno, di cui percorreremo una parte del perimetro, scoprendo una prima parte dei resti della Grande Guerra, come posizioni di artiglieria, un antico cimitero e la postazione radio. Inizieremo poi a salire in direzione di Cima Alta, quartier generale italiano nei giorni più terribili del giugno 1916, quando questo massiccio fu sottoposto ad una massiccia offensiva; lungo l'ascesa attraverseremo trincee e gallerie scavate dai soldati. Dalla cima potremo ammirare gran parte del campo di battaglia e rivivere gli episodi principali del conflitto. Scenderemo poi nuovamente in direzione di Busa Novegno, per poi risalire fino al monte Rione, vetta più alta del massiccio e sede di un forte della Prima Guerra Mondiale. Dopo una sosta scenderemo nuovamente verso le auto, non prima di esserci fermati per uno spuntino e una birra presso gli amici di Malga Davanti.

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate — this outing
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.
Exposure and exposed sections
NONE

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an environmental hiking guide and a historian. I love the mountains and I lead groups in the Piccole Dolomiti and on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni: two areas where history isn't in a museum, it's along the trail, and you just need to know where to look. I work for the Biosphaera cooperative, which deals with slow, sustainable tourism, environmental education and cultural projects: that's how I hold together what I studied and what I do. Walk with me and you'll go home with one more story and a few less certainties. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
You'll be among the first to share your story.
