Mount Ortigara
Mount Ortigara is one of the peaks, about 2,000 m tall, which delimit to the north the Seven Municipalities Plateau, falling sheer on the underlying Sugana Valley with a jump of over 1,500 meters. With the neighbouring mountains, it forms an imposing ridge easily accessible from the Asiago Plateau, but only reachable through steep paths from the Sugana Valley.
This mountain made history in World War I, when it was the theatre of fierce fightings between Italians and Austro-Hungarians, both of whom fell by the thousand trying to conquer its summit.
