Mondeval, Prehistoric rock shelter at 2150 meters in San Vito di Cadore, Italy.

The rock formation provides natural protection beneath a large boulder, situated between the Pelmo massif and Lastoi del Formin in the Dolomites.

Archaeological excavations in 1987 revealed the burial site of a Mesolithic hunter who lived in this mountain region 7500 years ago.

The burial contained tools, weapons, and personal ornaments that demonstrate the hunting and gathering practices of early mountain communities.

The site is accessible through a four-hour hike from Passo Giau, following path 436 and then 466 to reach Casera Mondeval De Sora.

The skeletal remains found at this elevation represent one of the most complete Mesolithic burials discovered in the European alpine region.
