Montassilone is located at 1,485 m a.s.l., high above Villa Ottone, and can be reached both by Villa Ottone e Vila di Sopra at Perca. These villages are by the way connected by the mountain bike tour of Montassilone.

However, only about 20 people live in this tranquil place. Hustle and bustle do not exist in this place, but tranquillity and peacefulness. A real eye candy are the pair farmsteads with hip roofs that characterise the village, as well as the S. Chrysant and S. Daria church. Since 1928 Montassilone belongs to the municipality of Gais.

The village is really worth a visit. If you come here for hiking, we recommend you to make a tour on the alpine pasture of Montassilone. Or you prefer a summit? Then we recommend you the Geige mountain, which can also be reached on touring skis. By the way, once a year there is also a mountain jog taking place right in this place. The course stretches from Gais up to Montassilone, where the finish is located.
