Vicentine 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.
