クレスパーノデルグラッパの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The question is: why is this place worth visiting? The answer is only one: because the landscape is wonderful, because there is a spectacular view, because it is a site of historical importance, because in this place emotions and thoughts are unleashed. Getting there by the route I took is not difficult or dangerous and with the snow it is a spectacle. Good legs and in a few hours you can get there.

With the Ardosetta refuge the view opens up to the top of Mount Grappa.

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.

Open every weekend of the year and in July/August it is open 7/7! The food is really very good and they also have rooms.

A nice itinerary on Monte Grappa, with a good gradient, is the ring that from Borso del Grappa leads to Campocroce.

The Bassano Refuge, a few steps from the Military Memorial, was built in 1896 by the Italian Alpine Club (Bassano section) as a "hut" to make it easier for members who went there on excursions to stop. During the Second World War the refuge was burned down. It was later reopened in 1949 after being restructured, enlarged and equipped with a large parking lot. Today the refuge is equipped with a restaurant seating around 250 with a panoramic view of the Venetian plain, a bar and a room for packed lunches. Managed by the Coletto family since 2002, it is open all year round and closes on Tuesdays from November to April.

A south-western location on Mount Grappa, it is located at 1,044 meters above sea level. On site there is a mountain hut of the same name which offers typical products and home-made dishes. It is possible to park the car in special spaces and use the location as a starting point for mountain bike, road bike or walking routes.

At the top of this historic climb is the Bassano Hut, the perfect place to enjoy a well-deserved break before the descent.
