Mount Ortigara, Mountain summit at 2106 meters in Province of Vicenza, Italy.
Mount Ortigara rises prominently from the Seven Municipalities Plateau, featuring steep limestone cliffs that descend into the Sugana Valley with a 1500-meter drop.
The mountain witnessed one of World War I's largest battles in June 1917, where 400,000 soldiers and 2000 artillery pieces fought for control of the summit.
The Lozze church and military ossuary at the mountain's base contain remains of fallen soldiers, serving as memorials for the intense Alpine warfare.
Visitors can start their ascent from Piazzale Lozze at 1770 meters, following the CAI 840 path along a former military track to reach the summit.
The mountain's geological composition combines Jurassic limestone on its eastern face with Triassic dolomite on the western side, creating distinct formations.
