Spectacular tunnel from the First World War: endless, steep, humid, and completely dark. A flashlight is essential. Currently (2025), the summit is closed due to a collapse: from below, it is accessed via the Franco Galli Equipped Path; from above, by circumnavigating the Corno bastion and climbing a challenging vertical metal ladder about fifteen meters high. EE. Corno Battisti is a rocky outcrop dominating the Vallarsa Valley. Due to its strategic position, it was fiercely contested during the First World War. At the beginning of the conflict, it was in Italian hands, but with the Strafexpedition of 1916, the Austro-Hungarians occupied it; the Italian army, unable to retake it, dug a mine tunnel from below to pierce the Corno and blow up the summit; the Imperials, in turn, dug a countermine tunnel from above. Everything was ready for the detonation, but a coup by a few brave men allowed the Italians to conquer the summit, which they held until the end of the war!

Corno Battisti, an isolated rocky bastion of the Pasubio Group, overlooking the Vallarsa Valley, offers a spectacular view of the long valley and the surrounding mountains: Pasubio, Sengio Alto, Carega, and Monte Zugna. Precisely because of its strategic position, it was fiercely contested during the First World War: the ability to monitor all troop and supply movements along the valley floor from up there made Corno a crucial point to be occupied and defended at all costs... it was in fact nicknamed "the eye of Pasubio" or "the spy of Vallarsa." At the beginning of the conflict, it was a garrison of the Italian army, but with the Strafexpedition of 1916, it was occupied by the Austro-Hungarians. Unable to recapture it, the Italians dug a mine tunnel from below to pierce the Corno and blow up the summit; the Imperials, in turn, dug a countermine tunnel from above. Everything was ready for the detonation, but a coup by a few brave men allowed the peak to be retaken by the Royal Army, which held it until the end of the war. The Austro-Hungarian observatory still survives at the summit. The bowels of the promontory are instead carved out by a surprising and easily navigable labyrinth of dark, damp tunnels with steep steps (EE). In 1916, near the summit, the Austro-Hungarians captured the irredentists Cesare Battisti and Fabio Filzi. They were immediately taken to Trento and hanged at Buonconsiglio Castle as traitors. For this reason, the peak, known at the time as 'Corno della Vallarsa', was renamed 'Corno Battisti' after the war. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Corno_Battisti https://www.esercito.difesa.it/storia/pagine/monte-corno.aspx

The Vis Ferrata Giulio Segata is a short, tough via ferrata that is divided into two sections. The second section is even harder than the first section, but becomes easier again as you go up. It starts over long smooth steep walls (E). At the top you climb through a cave with all kinds of stepping aids (C).

'Tunnel dei Fucilieri' in the signage: Austro-Hungarian defensive tunnel from the Great War, which passes through the grassy hill of Smelzar, at the foot of Forte Dosso delle Somme, with posts at regular intervals aimed at the underlying Val Terragnolo. Upon exiting, you suddenly emerge onto an exposed but extraordinary panoramic balcony between Val Terragnolo and the Altopiano di Lavarone, before arriving with a steep climb to the fortress.

extremely difficult via ferrata and not signposted the approach ... personally I did not find the start, I traveled back through the life of escape and climbed the second stretch .... do not contend with the nearby aided path .... you can see immediately when it goes up that this via ferrata is not trivial

Rarely is the ratio of ascent to ascent length so bad, but it's worth it. Climbing through the two caves is great and there are also some real challenges in terms of climbing. Anyone who doesn't quite dare should think about securing a rope - a mistake here could be quite painful in many places. As usual, topo can be found at bergsteiger.com.

Short and quite challenging via ferrata. Smooth but well-structured rock at the entrance - still quite a cold start. Spreading helps in the tunnel, on the slippery slab only friction climbing really helps - and you have to know how strong you can do it. The rock becomes increasingly rough towards the top. The E plate has so many grips and steps that it actually belongs to the easier sections (ok, the grips are sometimes quite small), above (D) there are enough pins installed - if you can step up high enough, the maximum is B/ C, if you don't make it, it will be hard. Finally, from the second cave, grippy rock and enjoy until the exit to the PlateU.

Even if the topo says otherwise, the first section is the more strenuous. In the tunnel, spreading still helps a lot, but the plate is almost exclusively friction-based.

A relatively short via ferrata compared to the long ascent. Attention - the sign for the lower entrance has been removed! You will be compensated with a really crisp route, partly slightly overhanging. Doesn't need to hide from Rino Pisetta. If it's still wet in the upper part of the cave - unfortunately you can't see it until you're inside - it gets really difficult. For the way back, choose the descent via ferrata (A/B) about 100m further to the right.

Here you can already see how heavy the KS is. Those who have difficulties here should start the flight path, because it will be even more difficult.

The caves can be reached through a trail in the undergrowth that is not easy. To visit the caves and see the splendid panorama of Lake Garda, you need to leave your bike at the foot of the climbing wall and continue on foot for a few dozen meters.
