Cesen, Mountain summit in Province of Treviso, Italy
Cesen is a mountain summit in the Venetian Prealps standing at about 1,570 meters with gradual slopes. The terrain is largely covered in grassland, making it accessible to hikers of different abilities.
The mountain served for centuries as a natural boundary between different regions of the Eastern Alps. This key location made it important for marking territorial divisions across generations.
The communities around the mountain practice farming methods that shape how the slopes look and feel. Seasonal grazing and local crops are woven into the everyday rhythm of life here.
The summit can be reached through several marked trails, with the route from Pianezze taking roughly two hours. The grassland terrain provides good visibility and relatively safe walking conditions even in changing weather.
The summit becomes a launching point for ski mountaineers in winter months exploring the higher Alpine terrain. During warmer seasons, paragliders use the slopes to catch thermals and take flight.
