Pasubio Falcipieri trail and 52 tunnels

Type: Interesting

Description:
It is a long equipped trail by SAV (Società Alpinisti Vicentini), also known as 'Cinque Cime'. It follows the entire ridge line above the Strada delle 52 Gallerie between Bocchetta Campiglia and Porte di Pasubio. It is an equipped route that is not difficult but quite long, equipped with several fixed ropes and a ladder. As reported in many descriptions, it is more of an alpine trail than a via ferrata, where the equipped part covers only a small portion of the route, which mainly runs along the ridge on rocks overcome by easy I° and II° climbs. The return from the Strada delle 52 gallerie del Pasubio is a military work built around 1917 that climbs to about 2000 meters at Porte del Pasubio thanks to a narrow road carved into the rock and galleries. The road served to supply the Italian position 'up high' without being hit by enemy fire. The road climbs a rocky wall and was not visible to enemy troops.
