YOUR RATING

last year's survey score

A week of easy excursions to discover the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Plateau of the Seven Municipalities) with its landscapes, culture, legends, and food and wine products.

Here we are in Veneto for a guided trekking holiday in the Asiago Plateau: a group trip with truly evocative landscapes and history. Every day a different activity that will allow you to create an unbreakable bond with the nature of the Vicentine Pre-Alps , formed by fir forests and surrounded by views of Monte Verena and Cima Portule, places so dear to Mario Rigoni Stern. We will discover the most important places of the Great War and take a tour of the Gallio mountain huts and venture out on easy treks through pastures and woods, which tell the long history of the communities that lived in these places, and we will participate in the mystical Night of Smuggling, a unique secret event that must remain so! To delight your palate, mountain huts and refuges where you can taste local products. Is something missing? Don't worry, we've thought of everything! The plateau offers plenty of places where you can enjoy a real Venetian aperitif, a ritual for any visitor. Ready to go?

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Program

First day

The journey to theAsiago Plateau begins in the late afternoon, with a meeting at 6:30 p.m. at thehotel in Gallio. Here we will meet the guide who will explain the program, providing details about the excursions and the places we will visit, including nature, history, and local traditions. This is the perfect time to break the ice with our fellow travelers, exchanging curiosities and expectations about this adventure. After the briefing, we will have dinner together, where we will savor the flavors of the Plateau. An ideal evening to begin immersing ourselves in the atmosphere of the Plateau, one of the most popular destinations for slow and sustainable tourism in 2025.

Second day

Discovering the Valley of the Mills
Let's set off on this wonderful mountain vacation in Veneto! Today's excursion takes us to the Valley of the Mills in Gallio, a trail that winds along a stream flowing from one of the very few surface springs on the plateau. Immersed in a cool and lush environment, theexcursion to the Valle dei Mulini is the perfect start to discovering this area: following the trail that descends from Gallio, you find yourself in a veritable open-air museum, where nature intertwines with the remains of ancient mills and tanneries from the 18th century. We will stop along the way for lunch in a mountain hut with local cheeses and typical products. Our expert guide will take us along a simple and intriguing route, walking among small waterfalls, mosses, and the fascinating evidence of the ancient industriousness of the Seven Municipalities.

Route info: 8 km, elevation gain 340 m

Third day

Madonna del Buso Canyon
Today, another walk on the Asiago Plateau, which is easy and suitable for everyone. We will drive to the Madonna del Buso Sanctuary, a small isolated church hidden in nature, which we reach by walking along the bottom of a canyon: narrow and spectacular gorges, carved out by the powerful Frenzela stream. The trail we will follow is a fascinating itinerary that combines the geological depth of a real alpine canyon with the silent peace of a place of faith, offering a short but intense experience of unspoiled nature and ancient spirituality.
On our return, we stop for a well-deserved
traditional aperitif in the center of Gallio: cheers!

Sixth day

Tour of the Gallio mountain huts
For thishike among the mountain pastures of Gallio, we will walk along the peaceful paths of the plateau, passing from one mountain pasture to another, just like the shepherds of old. We will pass by Malga Longara Davanti and its counterpart on the opposite side of Monte Longara, Malga Longara Di Dietro, where a snack with local products is a must.
We set off in the direction of
Malga Fiara, passing first through Casera Fiaretta, and if we feel like it, we can visit the monument in honor of Pope John Paul II, erected on the occasion of his visit to the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni. We take a break halfway through the day with a traditional lunch at a mountain hut in Campomuletto to savor traditional Venetian cuisine. For those who still want to explore the area, right next to the refuge there is an unmissable trail that recounts the role of these mountains during the Great War with evocative artistic installations: the Path of Silence.
