Road of the 52 Tunnels

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Historical route of the First World War, tunnels created in 10 months of hard work by many men to be able to bring weapons, ammunition, water, food to the front of the conflict against the Austrians. The 52 tunnels are quite easy to walk through, I recommend trekking clothing and a torch to use inside the tunnels to be able to see where you are walking, I recommend it to everyone with a minimum of training

Road of the 52 Tunnels - Mount Pasubio

I recommend at least once in your life to take this path, only in this way you can understand what our ancestors were capable of.

General Achille Papa Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Rifugio Generale Achille Papa is a refuge on the upper edge of the Val Canale at 1928 meters. It was built after the First World War and uses buildings from a former Italian barrack camp. Since then it has been rebuilt several times, today the building is quite imposing and renovated according to sustainable criteria.

The view up here is pretty breathtaking! Both from the hut, as well as the hut itself. Even the journey through the tunnel that ends here is an experience. In the hut you can strengthen yourself and even stay overnight. There is also a bivouac. Info unfortunately only in Italian: caischio.it/rifugio-papa

September 28, 2025,Strada delle 52 Gallerie - Valli del Pasubio

I had a pretty nice day today. There were too many people, but the trail is still pleasant. I've been there many times and it's always worth it. The weather was nice, a little cold because it had snowed, and as often happens, when I arrived at the Papa refuge, it was foggy. 😶‍🌫️

The Strada delle 52 Gallerie, also Strada della 1ª Armata or Strada della Prima Armata, is one of the most famous and now most visited Italian military roads of the First World War. It was built to supply the Italian positions on the Pasubio. Getting to the starting point is also an adventure

The road of the 52 galleries is a military mule track built during the First World War on the Pasubio massif. Circular excursion of the 52 galleries
Once you have taken the path near the Bocchetta Campiglia, the excursion necessarily follows the original route of the Strada Militare. Just over 6 km to reach the Papa Refuge. Return along the …

Today my husband and I went this tour, it was fantastically beautiful but we had to find out that the descriptions from other sites are not necessarily true. On the one hand, the times given are not correct and that it is medium difficult is also not true in our eyes. The ascent in the tunnels is sometimes very steep …

The times indicated by Komoot are not correct: we did not take 3.43 hours but 5 and a half hours adopting our best pace. Obviously the most challenging part is the climb of the 52 tunnels (the route requires a lot of attention, especially at night), but you still have to pay attention also on the return through the Strada …

Wonderful excursion to do in the day, which starting from the parking lot of the Bocchetta di Campiglia refuge (€ 6 all day) goes up along the famous Strada delle 52 Tunnel, and then descends, after a refreshment stop at the Papa Refuge, along the Strada degli Scarrubi . Attention ⚠️, even if not demanding, it must be faced with …

I think it's a must for every Italian and everyone else should see it. In addition to the history, there are also fantastic views of the surrounding gorges. After walking through the 52 galleries, the longest of which is 430 meters long, you come to the Refugio Gen. A. Papa. There are enough places to sit, both for food and …

Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp. There are further branches within the tunnels that can be explored. Several tunnels are over 300 meters long (Tunnel 19) or lead upwards like a corkscrew through several levels (Tunnel 20).
Unfortunately, many of the side tunnels have been littered and filled with shit by various "mountain enthusiasts."
From the Achille Papa …
