Parent range Eastern Alps

The Vicentine Alps (German: Vizentiner Alpen, Vicentiner Alpen or Vizentiner Voralpen; Italian: Prealpi Vicentine ) are a mountain range of the Eastern Alps in Trentino and the provinces of Verona and Vicenza. The mountains were named after the city of Vicenza which lies at their eastern edge. The highest point in the range is the Cima Dodici (2,336 m s.l.m.) on the northern perimeter of the Vicentine Alps.

Boundaries

The Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps (AVE) bounds the Vicentine Alps as follows:[1] In the west the Etsch marks the boundary of the range from Verona to Trient. Further east, the Mocheni Valley forms the boundary, followed by the Sugana Valley (Brenta) to Bassano del Grappa and the North Italian Plain, from where Verona is reached.

Neighbouring ranges are: to the west, the Garda Mountains; to the north, the Fleimstal Alps; and, to the east, the Dolomites.
