ソラーニャ（Solagna）のコムーネ、グラッパ山塊（Massiccio del Grappa）の標高1,270メートルに位置するリフュージョ・アルペ・マードレ（Rifugio Alpe Madre）は、ヴェネトの自然との本物の触れ合いを求める人々にとって、最高の目的地です。コルリ・アルティ（Colli Alti）の牧草地に囲まれ、アジアーゴ高原（Altopiano di Asiago）からドロミーティの山頂まで広がる印象的なパノラマを提供しています。この施設は、自家製ニョッキやアルプスのチーズを使ったポレンタなどの本格的な料理が特徴の伝統料理で有名です。パノラマ道路であるストラーダ・デッレ・ペニセ（Strada delle Penise）を通って、カンポ・ソラーニャ（Campo Solagna）から簡単にアクセスできるこのリフュージョは、ハイカー、家族連れ、スノーシュー愛好家にとっての拠点となっています。レストランの他に、素朴な雰囲気での宿泊も可能で、コル・モスキン（Col Moschin）やコル・フェニロン（Col Fenilon）の史跡を探索するのに理想的な拠点となります。

Sturdy shoes for stony trails

Col Fenilon is a green, rounded hill rising among the Colli Alti, offering a splendid 360° panorama, even better than the more famous (and lower) Col Moschin: the view extends over the plain, Bassano and the Brenta Valley, the Asiago Plateau, the Lagorai, Mount Grappa, and, on the horizon, the Dolomites. During the First World War, the Colli Alti del Grappa (including Col Fenilon and Col Moschin) were a crucial and extreme point of Italian resistance defending the plain. In June 1918, they were conquered by the Austro-Hungarians, and later retaken by the Italians in a lightning-fast and legendary action. The name derives from "buon fieno" (good hay), due to the excellent mountain pastures it has provided for centuries.

Col Moschin is a bare, green, and rounded hill offering a splendid view of the Brenta Valley below, the Asiago Plateau opposite, Mount Grappa, the Lagorai Mountains, and all the way to the Dolomites! During the First World War, on June 15, 1918, Col Moschin was the scene of a brilliant and lightning-fast assault by the Arditi of the 9th Assault Regiment, who in just 10 minutes retook the peak from Austro-Hungarian hands, effectively halting the imperial advance toward the plain. For their valor and heroism, the current 9th Col Moschin Parachute Assault Regiment, an elite corps of Italian special forces, is named after them. The hill is still marked by the scars of trenches and shell holes. Here, as at other crucial points of the conflict scattered across the Alpine foothills, an authentic column from ancient Rome was erected after the First World War, donated by the capital as a lasting reminder of the Austro-Hungarian army's deepest penetration (and thus of Italy's extreme and heroic resistance).

The Strada delle Penise (meaning "of the slopes" in dialect) is a family-friendly route: a long, wide dirt road that follows the western edge of the Grappa massif, overlooking the Brenta Valley and the opposite Asiago Plateau. A quiet, pleasant, and sunny walk. I actually thought and hoped it would be more scenic and steep, but the views are often obscured by trees. Although it is open to traffic, only very rare cars pass by on their way to the various houses and mountain huts.

On the right bank of the Brenta, just north of Bassano, there is an exhibition of beautiful wooden sculptures and small metal silhouettes of various animals.
