Anello monte Grappa

This route takes you to discover Mount Grappa: an unmissable area for those who love adrenaline-filled sports and free flight. Along paths and dirt roads you are about to conquer the summit of Mount Grappa. A unique experience among refuges and mountain pastures, breathtaking views of the Feltre peaks and glimpses where the scars of the First World War are still clearly visible.

The circular itinerary starts from the Malga Bocchette car park, easily reachable by car, and starts immediately uphill. Follow the old military road, which then becomes a path, partly rocky and narrow, then wide and double-track again. The average gradient is 5-8%, but there are some steep sections. As you go up the view continues to widen, until you emerge from the vegetation allowing you to admire the entire Val delle Mure in its majesty.

Conclude the climb with a view of the Bassano refuge, the popular destination for those who climb Mount Grappa. The refuge is located near the Ossuary (the military shrine of Mount Grappa is one of the main military ossuaries of the First World War), it has a terrace overlooking the Po Valley and in clear weather you could also see Venice.

The descent begins, first on asphalt and then, after the Ardosetta crossroads, on a dirt road, up to the Camol hut and Campo Croce, where the hut of the same name offers typical products and home-made dishes. After passing Campo Croce, and above all the steep climb turning at the crossroads, a nice wide path begins that crosses the woods and connects Campo Solagna. Continue the ascent, sometimes dirt and sometimes asphalted, up to Col delle Farine, where you can take a breather. Not for long, however, because a final short climb awaits you, up to the locality of Forcelletto (where you will find the hotel of the same name). Here a very short downhill segment takes you back to the starting point, the Bocchette refuge.
