Itinerari al Fronte – Sui sentieri della Grande Guerra

70 mountain itineraries on foot, by bike, with snowshoes between Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, from Bormio to Trento, from Cortina to Tarvisio. "The White War – writes Enrico Camanni in his preface to this guide – ate up lives, feelings and hopes like any other war machine. The engine was the same: easy to start, impossible to turn off. The real difference was made by the mountains , which imposed its environmental code on the reasons for the conflict". With the beginning of the conflict, the heavy technological apparatus of modernity moved up the Alpine and pre-Alpine valleys, destroying the delicate balances built over the centuries by peasant civilisation, and invaded the uncontaminated spaces of the peaks, crossed by a long trench of stone and ice. With this guide, like Pollicino, we aim to indicate the safest path towards the destination, trying, at the same time, to sow crumbs of knowledge, to help hikers to retrace the landscapes built by the Great War with greater awareness.
