'''Mount Ortigara''' ({{convert|2,105|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=semicolon}}) is one of the peaks, about {{convert|2,000|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall, which delimit to the north the Seven Municipalities Plateau (in Italian: ''Altipiano dei Sette Comuni''), falling sheer on the underlying [Sugana Valley](/source/Sugana_Valley) with a jump of over {{convert|1,500|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}}. With the neighbouring mountains, it forms an imposing ridge easily accessible from the Asiago Plateau, but only reachable through steep paths from the Sugana Valley.

In [World War I](/source/World_War_I), it became the theatre of fierce fighting (which became known as the [Battle of Mount Ortigara](/source/Battle_of_Mount_Ortigara)) between Italians and Austro-Hungarians, both of whom fell by the thousand trying to conquer its summit.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Battle of Ortigara |url=https://www.turismofvg.it/en/108730/the-battle-of-ortigara |website=Turismo FVG |accessdate=9 September 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
