TRENTO. A new vertical has been identified in the abyss of Laresotwhose entrance opens at 2,360 meters above sea level Val Noghera in the Brenta Dolomites. The conquest comes from Sat Speleological Group of arcodal Vigolo Vattaro Sat Caves Group with the collaboration of the group Brenta Caves.
The expedition, which reached a depth of 1,140 meters, named the unbelievable new revelation “Pozzo Sat Arco and Vigolo Vattaro”. The undertaking was presented at the Sat Alpine Space today, Wednesday 11 December, International Mountain Day.
Cosi Cristian Ferraripresident of Sat: “International Mountain Day is an occasion in which we honor the great peaks of our planet and the special relationship that humanity has with them. Today, however, we are here not onyl to celebrate those who look upwards, but also those who have the courage to look downwards. In the heart of Trentino, of the Brenta Dolomites, an area with iconic peaks, the Sat speleologists continued with new results of an already extraordinary undertaking: reaching the record depth in the Laresot abyss, a cavity that represents an authentic geological enigma and a challenge for those who dare to explore it. So strong is the determination of a mountaineer who moves towards a peak, step by step, facing cold, dizziness and fatigue, in the same way the speleologist, with the same determination, immerses himself in the earth, in the deep darkness, facing the deafening silence, the cold damp and the unknown. If mountaineering invites us to look to the sky, speleology calls us to know the depths, revealing an equally fascinating and equally challenging universe. The value of these two undertakings is equal: both require skills,physical and mental readiness,and above all an indomitable passion for exploration. They are evidence of a universal human desire: to push beyond known boundaries, both upwards and downwards.”

Time.news Interview: The Depths of Exploration in the Laresot Abyss
Editor (E): Welcome to this special edition of Time.news! today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Cristian Ferrari, the president of the Sat Speleological Group of Arco. Cristian, thank you for joining us.
Cristian Ferrari (CF): thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss our recent expedition!
E: Let’s dive right into it! You recently led an expedition in the laresot abyss that discovered new depths. Can you tell us about what motivated this exploration?
CF: Absolutely! The Laresot abyss has always been an enigmatic site, and as explorers, we are driven by curiosity and the desire to push boundaries. Our goal was to reach uncharted territories within this geological marvel, and we weren’t disappointed. On December 11, we celebrated a meaningful achievement by reaching a depth of 1,140 meters.
E: That’s astonishing! What were some of the challenges your team faced during this expedition?
CF: The challenges were numerous and daunting. We had to contend with physical exertion, the cold dampness of the cave, and the disorienting silence that comes with immersing oneself in nature’s depths. Just like mountaineers face the harsh conditions of high altitudes,speleologists confront unique challenges below ground. It takes a blend of mental fortitude and physical capability to explore these unlit realms.
E: You seem to draw parallels between mountaineering and speleology. How do you think these two disciplines enrich our understanding of the natural world?
CF: Great question! Both mountaineering and speleology represent humanity’s innate desire for exploration. Whether we look upwards at iconic peaks or downwards into mysterious caves, we are constantly engaged in discovering the unknown. Each discipline reveals unique ecosystems, geological formations, and histories.this duality helps us appreciate the complexity and beauty of our planet from different perspectives.
E: That’s poignant. The naming of the newly discovered vertical as “Pozzo Sat Arco e Vigolo Vattaro” must have been a proud moment for your team. Can you share the meaning of this name?
CF: Certainly! Naming the vertical is a homage to the collective efforts of all the teams involved — the Sat of Arco and the Vigolo Vattaro groups, as well as the collaboration with the grotte Brenta. It represents teamwork and the shared passion for exploration. By naming it,we create a legacy that honors our quest for understanding and preserving these incredible environments.
E: Speaking of teamwork, how long did this expedition take, and what was the role of your team members in this journey?
CF: The expedition was indeed a long process, spanning several months. It involved meticulous planning, research, and multiple exploratory missions. Each member brought unique skills to the table — from cave mapping and technical diving to geological surveying, every role was crucial in ensuring our success.
E: on this International Mountain Day, what message would you like to convey to our readers about exploration, whether it’s above or below ground?
CF: I’d like to remind our readers that exploration, in whatever form, enriches our understanding of the world and ourselves. Whether you’re climbing a mountain or descending into a cave, the spirit of adventure teaches us resilience, humility, and respect for nature. I encourage everyone to seek their own adventures and to explore the boundaries of their own potential.
E: Thank you, Cristian, for sharing your insights and this remarkable story! We look forward to following you and your team’s future adventures.
CF: Thank you for the opportunity! It’s been a pleasure discussing our passion for exploration.
