Thunder Circuit

<p>Short excursion, just beyond the saddle of <strong>Passo Coe</strong>, in the wide grazing area of Malga Melegna. It starts from <strong>Base Tuono</strong>, a museum setup (open from April to October) that bears witness to the former NATO missile base &#039;Malga Zonta - Monte Toraro&#039;, active from 1964 to 1977. The historical suggestions, in this case from the Cold War, meet here the beauty of the surrounding territory, typically alpine.</p>

We are in an area located between 1500 and 1600 m in altitude, facing north, usually heavily snow-covered. The excursion follows the forest road that from the Malga Zonta Shrine (a remembrance of the Nazi massacre on August 12, 1944) climbs towards the summit of Monte Maggio. But we turn towards Malga Melegna to then return, in a fun descent, to the starting point.
