Things to see in Tonezza and nearby:



The path is a ring-shaped trail for a total length of about 2,5 km. It was designed to be an educational workshop that allows you to experience a wide range of landscapes in a pleasant, nature circular route. Next to the old beech tree and the tall larch, the ancient quarries, the passageways of the livestock and abandoned orchards seem to still echo the sounds of activity that took place there.
The track does not involve any technical difficulty because the area's topography is generally sweet, typical of a plateau.


  • The Fogazzaro Path, a didactic trail and artistic tribute to the novelist Antonio Fogazzaro, that in these places was inspired to write the 6th chapter of his novel The Little Modern World.

  • The Ethnographic Museum of Tonezza, “El caselo dei Grotti”, dedicated to mountain agricultural society and in particular to milk processing, is a reference point for understanding the local customs. The museum displays common domestic artifacts specific to this mountain area, but also the household economical activities which consisted mostly of the milk processing in order to produce butter and cheese.

  • Historian sites: The Austro-Hungarian Crosato Cemetery, monument of harmony and peace, is the starting point of a historical path. You can also visit the Monte Cimone charnel house, the trenches, tunnels, and the remains of the World War I stations. Like all the mountains surrounding the plateau, Monte Cimone was the last bastion against the advancement of Austrian troops during the strafe expedition in the spring of 1916.




  • Horseback Riding trails


In the heart of the plateaus Tonezza and Florentini, where natural landscapes are vast and surprising you can have fun by taking relaxing horseback rides in the woods, hiking, tasting the typical products of the mountains and visiting the beautiful sights of the Great War or the charming alpine refuges. Another way to experience something different and exciting is to take a horse carriage ride, or learn (perhaps together with your children) how to prepare the horses and the saddles, and how to approach these beautiful animals.
