Hiking on the Asiago Plateau: the long weekend of June 2nd, exploring mountain huts and following deer tracks

First day

We arrive in the late afternoon atthe hotel in Gallio, a townon the Asiago Plateau. We settle in and get ready to meet the guide and the rest of the group. We have a briefing about the next few days and enjoy an excellent traditional dinner with local dishes at the hotel. During this long weekend, we will have the opportunity to discover many things about the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Plateau of the Seven Municipalities) and set off on a fascinating moonlight excursion. We will walk immersed in the silence of nature, where the darkness of the forest will be illuminated only by the moonlight and the tranquility of the mountain landscape. This special moment will allow us to experience the Plateau in a new way, exploring solitary paths and listening to the sounds of nature at night. An excellent introduction to the natural beauty of this area, perfect for those seeking a unique and relaxing experience.

Second day

Tour of the Campomulo Mountain Huts
Today is the first day of trekking on the Asiago Plateau! We are preparing for a beautiful excursion among the mountain huts of Campomulo, with visits to the Campomulo refuge, Malga Moline, and Malga Fiaretta. Here we will have the opportunity to discover mountain life through local products and stories of times gone by. Along the way, our expert guide will teach us how to recognize the tracks of the animals that inhabit these mountains, which, with a little luck, we may encounter along the trail! We will then have lunch together at the Campomuletto refuge, where we can enjoy products from local farms, livestock breeders, and distributors. On our return, we will treat ourselves to an excellent Venetian aperitif in Gallio in good company, before resting in our hotel.

Third day

Walking along the Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills)
The last excursion of this weekend organized in Veneto takes us to the Valle dei Mulini (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,the excursion to the Valle dei Mulini is perfect for discovering this area: following the trail that descends from Gallio, you will 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 cheese and typical local 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.

Fourth day

Asiago and the evening hike to the Verena Refuge
This morning we take it easy: we have time to visit the historic center of Asiago, discover its gastronomic specialties, and do some shopping, strolling through the streets of the center full of bars and small shops.
We prepare for this afternoon's hike: we will climb a little higher, walking for a couple of hours until we reach the Verena Refuge (2000 m). We will then have dinner with a beautiful panoramic view of the entire plateau, enjoying the flavors of the mountains with local products. We can also make ourselves comfortable and relax: today we will spend the night in the refuge!

Fifth day

After breakfast, it's already time to head back! For those who want to stay a few more hours, there is still plenty to visit in the Asiago area. You can stroll through picturesque mountain villages, discover ancient farmsteads, or admire the spring colors that paint the surrounding pastures and woods.
In any case, this has been a truly rejuvenating experience, in contact with the lush flora and fauna of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni and with the stories and traditions of the Vicenza mountains. We say goodbye, taking with us indelible memories of a journey through the treasuresof the Asiago Plateau.
