Mount Rione, or Rivòn, is the highest peak in the Novegno massif (1,691 m). From this panoramic terrace, one can see Mount Pasubio, the Posina Valley below, the Asiago Plateau, the Novegno basin itself, and the Vicenza Plain.

Because of its central and dominant position, the hill was heavily fortified by the Italian army during the Great War: a long trench defends the northern slope, the side facing the enemy; a series of tunnels, observation posts, and artillery emplacements are dug along the western ridge, connected by a mule track that leads to Mount Cogolo. Toward the Busa del Novegno, sheltered from enemy fire, in addition to the fort of the same name, the remains of numerous structures, such as shelters, casemates, depots, and the powder magazine, are still visible. The artillery (two 149mm guns in a barbette) was positioned on the plain in front of the terrace: the characteristic wall with niches for the shells is remarkable.

Interesting fact: this peak was originally called Mount Rivòn, but due to a military cartographer's error, it was renamed Mount Rione, and has remained so in modern cartography.
