Go there! And stop and reflect

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

Well worth visiting

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.

immersion in history

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

Very good driving

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.

Beautiful, beautiful: unmissable

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.

A journey through time at the Montecchio Nord Fort

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
