Xomo Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Among racing cyclists, this pass is more like a shadowy existence, but it is well known among mountain bikers, because here begins (or ends) the Strada Degli Scarubbi, which leads up to Rufigio Achille Papa. In contrast to this road the Passo Xomo is not locked for the car traffic.

The Scarubbi Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Strada degli Scarubbi:
La strada degli Scarubbi è una strada carrabile del massiccio del Pasubio, nelle Prealpi vicentine, costruita durante la Prima guerra mondiale. Lunga 10,5 chilometri, parte dal Passo Xomo (1058 m) e arriva alle Porte del Pasubio (1928 m).
Storia:
La strada degli Scarubbi fu costruita nell'estate del 1917, durante la Prima guerra mondiale, dall'Esercito Italiano per avere un accesso alla zona sommitale del Pasubio e quindi alla prima linea. Percorsa da autocarri, era tuttavia esposta all'artiglieria austriaca del vicino Monte Maio, essendo ricavata sul versante settentrionale del Monte Forni Alti. Veniva perciò percorsa in condizioni di particolare pericolo, in particolare durante la notte e a fari spenti. Furono sviluppate tecniche particolari per sfuggire all'artiglieria austriaca, come ad esempio sostare nei tornanti non in vista, per rendere più difficoltoso il puntamento dell'artiglieria nemica.
A causa della sua esposizione a nord, non era utilizzabile durante l'inverno e per buona parte della primavera: questi fattori resero necessaria la costruzione della strada delle 52 gallerie, molto più sicura ma non accessibile ai mezzi motorizzati.
Dopo il secondo dopoguerra la strada degli Scarubbi ha rappresentato, con quella degli Eroi, la principale via d'accesso alle prime automobili di gitanti. Chiusa al traffico motorizzato dagli anni ottanta con sbarra poco dopo Bocchetta Campiglia, è oggi accessibile solamente ai gestori del rifugio Achille Papa.
Oggi:
La strada degli Scarubbi è oggi di fatto l'unica via usata per l'accesso alla sommità del Pasubio con mezzi motorizzati. Nella sua parte intermedia, quella pianeggiante, è tuttavia soggetta a frane dopo le piogge primaverili e richiede annualmente lavori di manutenzione consistenti, per la rimozione dei detriti e la messa in sicurezza.
Viene inoltre scelta come via di discesa dalla maggior parte degli escursionisti, essendo molto più breve della Strada degli Eroi, sfruttando le scorciatoie sui tornanti delle Caneve di Campiglia.
Insieme all'altra rotabile rappresenta uno dei percorsi di maggior interesse storico e paesaggistico per la mountain bike.

General Achille Papa Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Rifugio Generale Achille Papa is a refuge on the upper edge of the Val Canale at 1928 meters. It was built after the First World War and uses buildings from a former Italian barrack camp. Since then it has been rebuilt several times, today the building is quite imposing and renovated according to sustainable criteria.

The view up here is pretty breathtaking! Both from the hut, as well as the hut itself. Even the journey through the tunnel that ends here is an experience. In the hut you can strengthen yourself and even stay overnight. There is also a bivouac. Info unfortunately only in Italian: caischio.it/rifugio-papa

Generale D'Havet Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

This tunnel acts as a watershed between the Vallarsa and the rocky gullies on which the Papa Refuge stands. From Passo Pian delle Fugazze to the Galleria d'Havet is the longest and most demanding part of the climb. After crossing the tunnel in 2km you reach the Pope and the climb becomes easier. Breathtaking panorama both before and after crossing it.
