Monte Tomatico, Mountain summit in Venetian Prealps, Italy

Monte Tomatico is a mountain summit in the Venetian Prealps that reaches 1,595 meters in elevation. The peak is part of the Grappa Massif and sits within a landscape of steep slopes and dense forest cover.

Monte Tomatico was the scene of the first battle of the Piave, fought in November 1917 after the Italian retreat from Caporetto, when Italian troops halted the Austro-German advance on the line of the Piave. The summit, overlooking Feltre, lay on that front line.

Local shepherds and woodcutters established the initial network of paths across Monte Tomatico, creating routes that remain active for modern hiking activities.

The summit is reached on foot from Tomo, a hamlet of Feltre, from Porcen in the municipality of Seren del Grappa via CAI trail 841, or from Carpen via CAI 850, then 844 and finally 841. Walkers starting from Schievenin, a hamlet of Setteville, also join the 841. The routes climb through forest and open slope, so allow time for the ascent and check conditions before setting out.

From the peak, visitors can see down into the Sedico valley and across to nearby areas including Porta Oria and the Vincheto di Celarda nature reserve. This view links the summit to a diverse landscape that extends beyond the immediate ridge line.
