Grappa peak with a 360° view

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.

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

1917 was a terrible year for Italy, but above all for the Treviso region. The Italian soldiers at Caporetto were defeated by the Austro-Hungarian empire and proved incapable of slowing down their advance. In those days the bishop of Treviso Msgr. Andrea Giacinto Longhin (proclaimed blessed by John Paul II on 20 October 2002), seeing the grave danger looming over the entire Venetian plain, promised that if the Madonna had spared his diocese and Italy, arresting the enemies in the afterlife Piave, he would have erected a church dedicated to the Virgin on the top of Montello.

Wonderful peak that offers a breathtaking view, in 2024 it will be the finishing line of the Giro d'Italia.

Symbolic stage of Montello and highest point. There is a fountain to fill your water bottle and bathrooms available.
