Grotta dei Fontanazzi: Standard size

The Veneto region we are venturing towards is situated in the northeastern portion of Italy. On either side of the Brenta river valley, the Dolomites' white rocks emerge, partially hidden by lush vegetation. During the spring and summer seasons, when the winds are favorable, it is common to witness numerous paragliders gracefully gliding across the entire valley. In this enchanting setting, savoring a morning espresso and indulging in a prosciutto sandwich becomes an extraordinary experience.

We begin the exploration in a ten-meter-long initial gallery, immersing ourselves in its surroundings. Descending through a large lateral fissure, we reach a depth of -6 meters, encountering the first bottleneck, which is relatively easy to overcome. Progressing further, we pass through a second bottleneck at -9 meters before reaching -12 meters after a short horizontal section. Here, we encounter a narrow vertical triangular fissure, 6-meter-long. It is crossed to arrive at the main pipeline at a depth of -18 meters. The tunnel continues in the direction of Cima Grappa, maintaining a consistent depth. The gallery measures around 10 meters wide and 2 meters high, featuring fascinating erosion formations.
