Monte Calisio, Mountain summit in Prealpi Trentine, Italy

Monte Calisio reaches an elevation of 1,097 meters, dominating the Val d'Adige and Trento with its diverse landscape of woods and rocky terrains.

The mountain features numerous tunnels and artillery positions built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I, forming the largest fortress in Trento.

The silver mines on Monte Calisio, known locally as canope, led to the creation of Europe's first mining code in 1207 by Prince-Bishop Federico Vanga.

Hikers can access the mountain through multiple paths, including routes from Villamontagna village and Rifugio Campel, where parking facilities are available.

The western slopes revealed the Venere del Gaban, an ancient deer horn statuette depicting a woman, marking the first evidence of human presence.

Elevation above the sea: 1,097 m

GPS coordinates: 46.09812,11.14340
