Morphology

The Altissimo is the highest peak in the northern part of the Monte-Baldo range, which stretches roughly from north to south. Other important peaks in the range are Punta Telegrafo to the south and the highest peak of the range Cima Valdritta. The saddle Bocca di Navene separates the southern part from the northern part.

Alpinism

On top of the Altissimo there is a mountain hut, the Rifugio Damiano Chiesa. The easiest way to reach the top is a hike over a dirt road from Strada Provinciale del Monte Baldo, also a prominent mountain-biking route. The important alpine long-distance hiking Peace Trail (Sentiero della Pace) also leads over the top of the Altissimo.

History

Besides the mountain hut, there are also leftover military installations from World War I and a chapel for remembrance to the wars victims.

gollark: It's something something spatial frequency, I'm trying to figure it out somewhat.
gollark: Observe, filtering.
gollark: I'm messing with image processing. By multiplying that mask with the (shifted) FFT of an image, I can effectively make a"low pass filter" thingy. I should probably find some actual educational material on this instead of just tweaking a badly written python program.
