Monte Plische
Monte Plische is a 1,991-metre summit in the Piccole Dolomiti (Little Dolomites), standing at the southern edge of the Carega Group where the provinces of Trento, Vicenza, and Verona converge. Its broad alpine meadows, rugged limestone outcrops, and network of First World War military mule tracks make it a rewarding destination for hikers seeking sweeping panoramas and a quieter side of the Italian Prealps.
A small iron cross marks the summit, reached in under an hour from Rifugio Scalorbi or about two hours from Rifugio Cesare Battisti. Along the way, walkers pass through dense dwarf mountain pine, traverse dramatic scree slopes, and follow well-preserved wartime paths that once supplied soldiers at the Italian-Austro-Hungarian front.
