AND WAR IT WAS
MTB among Plateau, memory, and vast panoramas
A high-altitude tour on the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities, among pastures, military roads, traces of the Great War, and local flavors.
An authentic MTB experience, immersed in the silence of the plateau.
High-altitude start
The tour begins at Rifugio Verenetta, with a technical briefing and bike setup. You can also enjoy a quick breakfast at the refuge. From the very first meters, you enter an alpine environment: open pastures, mountain huts, and wide gravel roads that climb with steady but rideable gradients.
The climb towards Monte Verena is consistent, never extreme, but continuous: it requires rhythm and effort management.
Forte Verena: the “Dominator of the Plateau”
Once you reach Forte Verena, the scenery opens up spectacularly. From here, your view embraces much of the Plateau and the surrounding peaks.
Built before the First World War, it was this very fort that fired the shot marking the beginning of the war. Today it remains an imposing testimony, suspended between sky and memory. A stop here is not only scenic, but also symbolic.
Towards Campolongo
From Verena, you continue along military and forest roads towards Campolongo. The route alternates between smooth sections and gentle undulations, immersed in fir forests and wide clearings.
And you reach Forte Campolongo, one of the forts that on paper was meant to be among the most advanced and best built… but that was not the case.
The return
The final kilometers bring you back to the starting point with the feeling of having lived a true high-altitude experience.
