The picturesque village of Cison di Valmarino, dominated by the imposing Castelbrando, is an excellent destination for mountain biking, with routes immersed in the Prosecco hills and lush woods. The itineraries offer challenging climbs and technical descents, with passages through ancient paths and historic mule tracks. The Via dell’Acqua route and the tracks towards Monte Cesen offer breathtaking views and complete immersion in nature.

Nice view on the plane. It's short uphill (50mt stones floor), but isn't ridable with a road/gravel bike. For roadies and gravellers it's a portage section, for sure (roadies, pay attention when walk on stones with stiff shoes). An MTB and a real good fitness are required to achieve the top of the hill.

The symbol of the city stands on the top of Monte Ricco (310 meters) as a solid military fortress. Built between the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century, it served as the city's garrison. From the stands it is possible to admire the entire surrounding landscape with a view that stretches from the Dolomites to Venice. Opening: Saturday, Sunday and public holidays: from April to October 10am - 7pm; from November to March 10am-5pm. July and August: 9am-1pm/4pm-8pm More info at https://www.asolo.it/cosa-vedere-asolo-rocca/

Castelbrando, a grand medieval castle, sits on a dolomitic limestone rock at an altitude of 370m above sea level, overlooking the villages of Cison di Valmarino and Valmareno. The name is due to the Brandolini family from Forlì, who were the lords of the castle. The castle was originally built in Roman times to protect the Via Claudia Augusta, which connected the Po valley to Rhaetia (modern Austria). The original castrum from 46 AD is still visible. A recent archaeological dig has uncovered a bread oven and the original Roman baths, as well as the original pipes of the aqueduct that supplied water from three nearby natural springs. These springs still provide water for the castle. Later the fortress became an important defensive position against barbarian invasions. During the 13th century the castle was significantly enlarged and the imposing battlements and central tower were added. The castle was awarded by the Republic of Venice to the condottieri Giovanni Brandolino and Erasmo da Narni, better known as "Gattamelata". After the fall of the Venetian Republic it became the property of the Brandolini Counts. In 1700 the castle was expanded with the southern part and the castle chapel, the church of San Martino. During World War I, the castle was invaded by Imperial Austrian troops and used as a military hospital. After 10 years of restoration work, the castle was reopened as a residence in 1929. In 1959, the castle was sold by the Brandolini family to the Salesian Fathers, who used it as a monastery and as a center for spiritual studies. In 1997, CastelBrando was purchased by Quaternary Investments SpA, who transformed it into a 4-star hotel, museum and theater. Visitors can take the cable car to the castle from the village.

Symbol of the city of Asolo, the Rocca is a solid military fortification that stands on the top of Monte Ricco (310m). It was built between the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century by will of the Bishop of Treviso with the function of garrison for the city. Previous visits to the fortress can be dated from the 7th-8th century, when a Christian chapel was built on the hill with a mosaic floor preserved in the museum, but a copy of which is placed in situ. In the following centuries the area was used for the establishment of production structures and necropolises; in particular between the 10th and 12th centuries the sources mention this settlement as loco Bragida, a toponym of Lombard origin which came to indicate the countryside or peri-urban areas. The mighty structure, made of local stone, has crenellated walls approximately 15 m high and between 2.5 and 3.5 m thick. Inside are the tower, the remains of the round cistern-well for collecting rainwater and part of a small quadrangular cistern preceding the cistern-well. The fortress was abandoned after the 15th century and the structure was then used sporadically. There is news that Venice attempted to sell the fortress in 1650, but in extremis the city's pleas prevented this sale; in fact the fortress became an inalienable part of the monumental heritage of Asolo. From its stands it is possible to admire the entire surrounding landscape with a view that passes from the Dolomites to Venice. Opening: Saturday, Sunday and holidays: from April to October 10.00am-7.00pm; from November to March 10.00-17.00. July and August: 9.00-13.00/16.00-20.00
