Grappa peak with a 360° view

Fantastic

It is a defensive military barracks built in the second half of the 19th century, entirely in stone, which overlooks the town of Camporovere and dominates the entire central basin of the Plateau. From a historical point of view, the Forte Interrotto represents a completely exceptional case. It was in fact born from a military architecture project that still followed late medieval canons, recognizable in the 6 gigantic central arches and in the imposing lateral bastions with 115 positions for riflemen. In 1916 it was occupied by the Austro-Hungarians and transformed into a stronghold of the imperial line.

The Bassano refuge is located on the top of Monte Grappa, at 1,750 meters above sea level, and is the only refreshment point near the Sacrario. The structure offers a panoramic view that ranges from the Veneto plain to the Dolomites and offers typical dishes of Venetian cuisine, such as pappardelle with wild boar and gnocchi with mountain cheeses. The refuge is a resting place for hikers and cyclists, and is open all year round, with closures on Mondays and Tuesdays during the winter. Monte Grappa is known for its historical and natural importance. An ideal destination for mountain and history lovers, it offers a 360-degree view and numerous trails, as well as being a point of reference for the memory of the world wars. The summit is accessible via trails, asphalt roads and cycle paths.

If you cycle up Monte Grappa, you should not miss a visit to the "Ossarium", a monumental memorial to the soldiers who died here in the senseless trench warfare during the First World War. The road up Monte Grappa ends at a large car park at Rifugio Bassano. From here, it is only a long flight of stairs to the Ossarium and then you can admire the extensive Ossarium and enjoy the overwhelming view. On my first visit, I pushed my racing bike up the stairs because I didn't have a lock with me. On my second visit with my friend, we locked the bikes in the car park and climbed up.

A truly suggestive place that produces thoughts, it is worth the climb both on asphalt and on the path

Refuge and well-deserved rest after the climb

Panoramas, unique landscapes, sunrise and sunset to experience
