Experience nature on the Asiago-Plateau

TREKKING AND HIKES
After winter, when dandelions bloom and dye the meadows of the Plateau yellow, it is the perfect time to go hiking: there are many different routes, some of them are even linked to the events of the First World War (1915/18). Among the many itineraries, the most interesting ones are: Mount Ortigara (the Alpinos’ sacred place), Cima Caldiera, Fort Corbin and the galleries of Mount Cengio, the cemeteries of Magnaboschi valley, Mount Fior and Castelgomberto. More routes are: Marcesina plain, Fort Lisser in Enego, Fort Campolongo in Rotzo.

In addition to the most challenging routes on the locations where the Great War took place, the Plateau also offers short panoramic walks on easy paths surrounded by nature, of different length and difficulty, suited for families and for all ages.

To learn more about all the paths, visit the website of the C.A.I. Asiago Plateau and the 7 Comuni CAI ASIAGO 7 COMUNI

NORDIC WALKING
Thanks to its geographic conformation, the territory of the Asiago Plateau is perfect for Nordic walking, an active walking technique with sticks.

This healthy outdoor discipline helps toning up the musculature without causing fatigue on the joints and is suited for anyone and any age.

There are many offers from the local associations
