The Val d'Astico (Astetal in Cimbrian, a local dialect) is a valley of the Vicentine Pre-Alps crossed by the Astico torrent.
The valley opens onto the Vicenza plain and develops substantially in a south-north direction, wedging between the Asiago (Sette Comuni) plateau and the reliefs of the Pasubio massif.
The "Forte di Campolongo" was an Italian fort for controlling the Val d'Astico. This area was heavily affected by fighting during the First World War. However the fort of Campolongo had no particular role in the fighting, because it was built with materials that could not withstand the power of the cannons of the time and was quickly destroyed.
Now it is a magnificent panoramic point on the Val d'Astico.
