St. George's Italian Military Cemetery WW1

Highlight • Historical Site

The San Giorgio Cemetery is one of the numerous field cemeteries, both Italian and Austro-Hungarian, established during the First World War in the vast area of Monte Zugna to hold the remains of the numerous fallen: 84 Italians (10 of whom are unknown) and 22 Austro-Hungarians, for a total of 106 men.

After the war, the Austro-Hungarian remains were transferred to the Rovereto cemetery; the Italian ones to the Castel Dante Memorial. Today, the cemetery also contains headstones found in the area, dedicated to those who fell on the spot.

Rifugio Coni Zugna

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Near the Coni Zugna refuge there is an important astronomical observatory, whose botanical and faunal aspects are also of considerable interest. It played a fundamental role in the history of the First World War on the Italian-Austrian front. For more information or reservations, this is the Coni Zugna refuge website: rifugioconizugna.com.

Rifugio Malga Zugna 1516

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A nice, well-maintained refuge at the end of the climb. We stopped and enjoyed a plate of excellent dumplings in broth, given the December weather. I recommend it for a pleasant stop.

Park for Peace (Mount Zugna) WW1

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Parco della Pace" is actually an Austro-Hungarian logistics base from the First World War. In the years leading up to the conflict, the Imperial Corps of Engineers had planned the construction of an impregnable fort on the summit of Mount Zugna, to serve both defense and attack purposes, controlling the Vallarsa and Vallagarina valleys, and the borders with the Kingdom of Italy. The design on paper called for a concrete casemate on the sheltered terrace beneath the summit, connected by tunnels and elevators to four revolving armored domes on the summit, armed with 15 cm guns with a range of approximately 22 km. Additional cannons in caves, machine gun emplacements, searchlights, and an observation dome were also planned. Only the armored domes would emerge from the ground.

This military settlement, on a clearing at the foot of the summit, was built specifically in preparation for and to support the construction site. But excavations for the fortification were immediately interrupted due to other priorities (including financial ones) and the shifting of the front with the outbreak of war: thus, the fort was never built. When the Austro-Hungarians tactically retreated to Rovereto in 1915, the buildings were occupied and used by the Italians until the end of the war.

The site included, in addition to the specially constructed military road from the Monte Zugna Refuge: the officers' quarters; a rainwater collection basin, with purification filters and three storage tanks; the barracks for the troops, which could accommodate 600 men; the two-story barracks (the building with the staircase), capable of holding approximately 300 soldiers; opposite it, there was a small infirmary made of zinc sheeting that could hold eight patients; and a shelter/storage area in a cave.

Italian Military Cemetery of Coni Zugna WW1

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the small and numerous war cemeteries, both Italian and Austro-Hungarian, scattered throughout the area of Mount Zugna.

In particular, this cemetery was built by the Italians after taking possession of the adjacent Austro-Hungarian logistical settlement (today called 'Peace Park'): 9 Italian soldiers (of which 3 unknown) and 1 Austro-Hungarian soldier were buried there.

Baita Quinto Pezzo

Highlight • Viewpoint

A magnificent panoramic viewpoint with an immense panorama of the Lagarina Valley, Mount Stivo, Mount Baldo, and the Carega mountain range to the south. Clear skies are essential. The mountain hut (closed) is very characteristic.
