Monte Toc, Mountain summit in Province of Belluno, Italy

Monte Toc rises to 1921 meters in elevation within the Eastern Dolomites, featuring steep slopes and dense forest coverage across its terrain.

The mountain gained international attention on October 9, 1963, when a massive landslide from its slopes caused a catastrophic flood at the Vajont Dam.

Local residents named it 'The Walking Mountain' due to its geological instability, with 'toc' deriving from the Friulian word meaning unstable or rotten.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, requiring proper mountaineering equipment and adherence to local safety guidelines due to the terrain conditions.

The mountain's geological composition includes layers of limestone and clay that contribute to its ongoing susceptibility to ground movement and erosion.
