Monte Fior

Monte Fior rises to 1,824 meters in the Vicentine Alps, featuring limestone formations and grassy slopes across its southeastern section of the Sette Comuni plateau.

During World War I in June 1916, the mountain became a battlefield where Italian Alpini forces faced Austro-Hungarian troops, resulting in over 3,500 casualties.

Military artifacts, trenches, and remnants from World War I scattered throughout Monte Fior create an open-air museum documenting the mountain's wartime history.

Visitors can access the mountain through trail number 861 from Malga Slapeur parking area, with a three-hour round trip journey to reach the summit.

The mountain slopes display numerous species of Alpine flora, including the dark vanilla orchid Nigritella rhellicani, which grows among the limestone rocks.
