Home » Asiago – On the plateau, between nature and mountain pastures
History has left clear marks among the mountains of theAsiago Plateau. Beginning with the origins of its inhabitants, who are said to be descended from ancient Cimbrians of Nordic descent. The Cimbrian language, now in disuse, is still present in the place names and nicknames of many families. Age-old rituals and customs, along with ancient legends of gnomes, fairies and other woodland creatures, fascinate visitors to the Seven Towns.
The Great War, which devastated the villages and landscapes of Asiago, is a painful experience long gone, but still perfectly tangible through the remains of thousands of trenches and fortifications and the evidence gathered in museums. Archaeological sites help add further fascination to the discovery of this unique land.
Technical description:
The loop route is 60 km, of medium difficulty, with long stretches at altitude but always on paved road.
From Asiago follow the provincial road eastward to Gallio, Valle Campomulo, Campanella (where for a stretch you take a secondary road) and then Foza (20th km). Continuing out of the village, keeping to the same road, a steady climb begins that, passing Stoner and Bivio Dori (keep left), continues to the highest point of the trail near Mt. Frizzon.
Here you stay at high altitude (around 1,300 meters) for about 10 km, bypassing Mount Lisser, surrounded by nature and alpine pastures.
The loop closes with a descent back to Foza and a return to Asiago on the same road taken on the outward journey.
