Hiking
The Rossi family's cotton mill ("CotoRossi"), active since 1893, was an industrial reality which at full capacity saw hundreds of people employed, mainly women. It was served by the railway coming from Schio and the underlying Rozzola hydroelectric power station which, exploiting the waters of the Astico river, moved the looms.
A beautiful example of industrial archaeology, now in ruins: currently the beautiful entrance door, the skeleton of the walls and the caretaker's house remain of the building.

The former Cotonificio Rossi in Caltrano with the underlying hydroelectric power plant (often geographically identified along the Astico at the border with Chiuppano) represents a fundamental piece of industrial archaeology of the Alto Vicentino. It was founded at the end of the 19th century on the initiative of the Rossi family, already famous for the Lanificio Rossi in Schio.
