Col Santino

When the days become boring....

When the days become more laborious and time-consuming, when the problems become too many and being with others is more problematic ...the solution is to reach for a few hours these delightful places where the daily life is resized: Open spaces, clean air and clear, silence and large panoramic, sense of peace. The small everyday tasks go immediately into the background to make space to the sense of magic and wonder especially ascent these peaks over 2000m. where the eye goes away, near the sky.:)

Another extraordinary summit of Pasubio: Col Santino 2110m., it belongs to the north-east ridge of the group formed by the Col Santino, Col Santo and Mount Pazul.
Col Santino is much less attended other surrounding peaks, but the view from its summit is great.
Here you can meet chamois, roe and see the eagle.
The top is characterized by spectacular "rosso ammonitico" rock formations called Coronelle.
