SOLVED RIDDLE.

The Campogrosso Pass is a little known pass of the Vicentine Pre-Alps and connects the Trentino with the Veneto.
The so-called Caposaldo di Cima Slavazzi is a small military fortification of which few traces remain, but which allows a beautiful view of the whole area surrounding the Campogrosso Pass.

I have an idea, but I am not sure enough.

In the distance two mountains with 34.. and 35.. meters, and a group
with a famous High-Way and great pics to climb, looking from a Passo about
1454 meters.
A very nice panorama.

Thank you all for your participation.
Bravo Günter. Do you know the area?

Salute Giuseppe!

And what about Rif. Citta di Schio? You must have taken it quite close to that hut. And the "Monte Adamello" called summit: isn't it Caré Alto? Cheers, Matthias

Hallo Giuseppe
I never stayed in this region in the south of the Dolomites.
I recognized the Care Alto and the Presanella an than it was easy to solve the riddle. I think, the label of Adamello is not right, it is the Monte Care Alto.

Hi Matthias. The Rifugio Città di Schio can be seen in the pano. Now I put the label.
The Rifugio Città di Schio is a historic refuge of the Vicentine Pre-Alps, but has had a troubled history and it is closed. Now practically it is only a bivouac. This is because I didn't understand that you had understood
Yes it is the Carè Alto. The Adamello is just to the left. However, it is the Adamello group.

Hi Günter. Now I put the labels more precisely.

@Matthias: the Rifugio Città di Schio is one of the oldest Italian shelters, built in 1896.
But in 1914 the First World War broke out and at the time the Campogrosso Pass area marked the border between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy.
The Italian generals feared that the Campogrosso Pass could constitute a breakthrough for the Austro-Hungarian army towards the Po valley. Therefore they occupied and fortified the area. The Rifugio Città di Schio was requisitioned and used for military purposes. In reality this area was not affected by intense fighting, because the Austrian generals tried to break through a little more to the east, from the Asiago plateau and in particular from the Val d'Astico (pano 25523).
At the end of the war this area was little frequented and later it was decided to build a shelter in a more comfortable area.
The Rifugio Città di Schio was not destroyed, but it no longer had the importance of before the war. It is now closed, but can be used as a bivouac.
