Hiking
This rocky peak with steep walls (375 meters) stands alone and dominant over the Arsiero basin, at the foot of Mount Summano. From the summit, you can enjoy a wide view of the entrance to the Astico Valley, surrounded by mountains. Due to its profile, it is (was) also colloquially known as "the Doge's Hat."
Precisely because of this strategic position, an important castle was built in feudal times to defend the valley; no trace of the fortress has remained for centuries, but the toponym survives.
