Passo Tonale Forte Mero and Forte Zaccarana
<p>A hike of great historical importance to Forte Mero and Forte Zaccarana, former Austro-Hungarian fortifications from the First World War at Passo del Tonale.</p>
<p>This hike starts from the historic Ospizio San Bartolomeo at almost 2,000 meters high. The first fort you encounter is Forte Mero. From here, the road begins to climb, and after 250 meters of elevation gain, you reach Forte Zaccarana. A rarely beautiful viewpoint, from the fort you can admire imposing peaks like Busazza, the majestic scenery of Presanella, the crests of Monticelli, the wide saddle of Tonale, and the upper Val di Sole. The inside of Forte Zaccarana is partially visitable (guided tours only). The walk ends with a very panoramic path, rich in alpine flora.</p>
