ヴェーロ・ダスティコの峠・トップ19

Road to the Rifugio Achille Papa. This is where you walk down if you're doing a circular hike with the 52 tunnels.

The first plans for the construction of a refuge on Pasubio date back to 1907. However, they were not realized until after the First World War, when the Schio section of the CAI began to build a refuge in memory of the soldiers who had fallen on Pasubio.

The Passo della Camonda shrine is in effect a refuge used by merchants and wayfarers who traveled from the Agno Valley to the Leogra Valley. The pass was also one of the strongholds of the Italian defensive line during the First World War.

Named after General Achille Papa, Gold Medal for military valor who died during the First World War in 1917, the refuge is located at the saddle of the Porte del Pasubio, at 1,928 meters above sea level, on the massif of the same name. Today the Papa refuge is owned by the CAI of Schio and boasts around sixty beds.

The Camonda Pass where the characteristic capital is located can be reached in about ten minutes from the SP246 road which from the hamlet of Bonomini (Recoaro) leads to Rovegliana (from here just follow the signs for Contrada Camonda). Camonda Pass. Historical reference The Orthogonal strategic line 1, which from Campogrosso continued with a linear trend on the watershed between the Agno and Leogra valleys, was characterized by the strongholds of Cucco Moro, Some and Locchetta and on the Camonda pass, was part of the complex defensive system of Monte Civillina – Monte Cengio. This line, following the directives of Gen. Cadorna, Chief of Staff of the Army, was abandoned and replaced in the spring of 1917 with two vertical lines: the Sentinello further south and the one from the Camonda Pass to the top of the stronghold, inserted in the new Orthogonal 1; both were equipped with machine gun positions in the cave and served by two comfortable mule tracks. A third mule track went up the eastern side of the mountain from the Manfron pass, close to the Civillina – Monte Cengio line.
