Monte Cero

Monte Cero rises to 409 meters above sea level, featuring distinct geological formations and a trachyte quarry on its southern flank near Calaone village.

The mountain forms part of the Euganean Hills, which emerged through volcanic activity millions of years ago, creating their characteristic dome-shaped profiles.

Local communities around Monte Cero maintain traditional practices of cultivating herbs and plants that grow naturally on the mountain slopes.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit, with the main path starting from Calaone village, providing clear signage and moderate climbing conditions.

The mountain contains rare mineral formations, including cristobalite crystals displaying pyramidal shapes and hexagonal lamellar quartz in its trachyte cavities.
