WHY THIS TREK

The 52 Tunnels of the Pasubio

Fifty-two tunnels cut into the rock, and a night in a mountain hut.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Bocchetta Campiglia and walk the legendary Strada delle 52 Gallerie: a military mule road cut into the rock during the First World War to supply the high positions out of enemy fire. Tunnels, impossible hairpins and views: we reach Rifugio Achille Papa, where we spend the night.

Day 2. The climb to Cima Palon, the summit of Monte Pasubio, and the return.

5 reasons to come - the Strada delle 52 Gallerie, a unique feat of engineering - the night at Rifugio Achille Papa - the Pasubio summit at Cima Palon - Great War history right under your feet - one of the most fascinating historic treks in the Alps

Who it suits Two days on a military mule road, with dark tunnels to cross: bring a torch; normal walking fitness is enough.

A piece of history you cross on foot: set off with the Guidders.
