Monte Cavallo

Monte Cavallo is a mountain summit in the Prealpi Bellunesi reaching 2251 meters in elevation and straddling the border between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto. The terrain includes marked hiking paths, rock formations, and climbing routes that define the alpine character of this region.

The mountain takes its name from historical routes and settlements that formed the backbone of regional trade for centuries. Early mountaineers and alpine club members developed climbing routes here in the 20th century, transforming it from a remote crossing point into an organized hiking destination.

The mountain serves as a gathering point for hikers from neighboring regions who share trails and mountain shelters in this border area. Visitors find themselves naturally connecting with the simple rhythms of alpine culture through their passage across these well-used routes.

Hikers will find multiple entry routes and mountain shelters positioned along the trails for breaks and refreshment. Parking is available near the Passo di Pramollo area, and sturdy footwear is essential since the paths can be rocky and slippery depending on weather and season.

The mountain provides two distinct return options: a southeast ridge path following the Alta Via CAI Pontebbia or an Austrian-side route descending toward Baita Winkel. This choice allows hikers to experience different slopes and terrain types on the same outing.
