Entrada Forte Montecchio Nord

Touching experience: everyone should visit sites like this in order to see firsthand how repulsive war is, wherever it is waged

Beautiful experience 👍. It is a pleasant and well-organized guided tour of about an hour. !! The guide was very talented and professional 👏👏👏👏👏

The only one of 48 such forts built before WW1 which still has its cannon in their original casements. Interesting in its own right it was made extra special by the guide Maria Vittoria who was very welcoming and enthusiastic about showing people the fort.

Fort very well preserved. Interesting and exciting visit thanks to the talented guide Maria Vittoria very competent and passionate about what she does. In the upper part where there are cannons spectacular view of the lake and surroundings

Interesting guided tour of the Montecchio Fort lasting about an hour. Historic site with a beautiful view. Congratulations to our guide who caught our attention x all the time.

Certainly the best preserved fort of the First World War in the world. The tours are led by very prepared guys

Family trip with two children of 8 years, the children had fun and intrigued to visit this fort, very well preserved and above all they were very impressed to visit the gun turret inside, cannon still working and then be able to climb on the roof of the fort and the dome of the cannon, the tours are guided and the guide and 'managed not to bore the children with too articulated explanations, from the roof of the fort you can enjoy a great view of the lake and surroundings

The site is a simple military barracks equipped with cannons dating back to the First World War, but takes on significant traits thanks to the skill of the guide Max who with competence and passion showed us and described the various environments. Thanks to his measured and engaging words the past comes to life. You project yourself back in time and you have the impression of walking through the halls of the fortress of the “Tatar Desert” of Buzzati.

Very interesting visit, only with guide and only Saturday and Sunday at every hour, from 10 am to 5 pm. Spectacular views of Lake Lario, Val Chiavenna and Valtellina, on the summit where the 4 cannons are.

We were lucky enough to visit the Fort of Montecchio Nord in Colico and we can say without a doubt that it was a unique experience! It is a true historical jewel, the only fort of the First World War still intact in Italy, and walking through its perfectly preserved corridors was like stepping back in time. The guided tour was the real added value: our guide, Luca, with his passion and enthusiasm, transported us into history like a real time machine! Thanks to his detailed stories, we discovered many anecdotes and curiosities that made the tour even more engaging. The centerpiece? The giant original cannons, still pointed at Lake Como, which left us speechless. The view from the top of the fort is spectacular, with incredible views of the mountains and lake waters. If you are passionate about history or just want to have a different experience, the Forte di Montecchio Nord is a must! Recommended Simo! Beatrice and Stefano - BeSt Beatrice and Stefano's Travels
