Pizzoc

Pizzoc is a mountain peak in Veneto that reaches approximately 1,565 meters (5,135 feet) in the southern limestone Alps. The landscape features steep slopes and narrow paths cutting through rocky terrain.

The mountain served as a boundary marker between different settlements and territories in the region for centuries. This role as a natural reference point shaped long-term relations between communities and their geographical identity.

The summit marks a natural boundary that shapes how local communities define themselves and their connection to the Alps. Residents and visitors walk the surrounding paths and meadows as part of traditions that have persisted through generations.

The climb requires good fitness and is best attempted during warmer months when paths are clear of snow and ice. Visitors should bring sturdy hiking boots, plenty of water, and navigation aids, as some sections are steep and exposed.

Three natural springs at the eastern base form the source of the Livenza River, a hydrological system that few visitors notice. This water source plays an important role in the region despite its remote mountain location.
