Col d'Asiago offers a beautiful and privileged panoramic point on the underlying Canale del Brenta, or the narrow and deep terminal part of Valsugana. But the view extends over the Asiago Plateau and the entire skyline of mountains that border it to the north, the Grappa Massif to the east and the mouth of Val Brenta. In the distance, the Piccole Dolomiti, the Pale di San Martino and the Vette Feltrine. Precisely because of its strategic position, during the First World War it was a strongly armed Italian defensive bastion and decisive in various phases of the conflict. The peak is also known locally by the ancient and dialect toponym 'Col del S-ciavo', dating back to the time of the Serenissima: on the slopes of the hill in fact the 'schiavoni' (i.e. the non-Latin inhabitants of the dominions of Dalmatia and the Venetian hinterland) cut wood for the naval fleet; the trunks (especially beech trees) were lowered down the valley through the famous and nearby Calà del Sasso; they were then loaded onto rafts that went down the entire Brenta, until they reached the lagoon and the Arsenale of Venice. A large concrete cistern dominates the summit, collecting the water pumped from the Oliero Caves, 1000m further downstream, and distributing it to the Plateau.

When you climb to Cima Campo the feeling is of being in a Swiss valley, so much order and peace...

... with its EIGHT hairpin bends ;-)

Thurs. October 12th '23 a car rally will be held on the public road that is not (!) closed. For the. For a long time I couldn't tell what was going on - until I noticed the folding chairs with the marshals... If available, the center line is the benchmark for the drivers and the hairpin bends are preferably driven on the inside: Have fun descending into the right-hand bends - there are always a few 'surprises'. I saw 2 Carabinieri vehicles on the way without any apparent surveillance activity - a third was taking care of an illegal parker. Well - I definitely won't be doing this (very nice) lap on this date again.

Col d'Astiago is located in the south-eastern sector of the Asiago plateau. Wide panorama of the Brenta and towards Monte Grappa. Here is the pumping station of the aqueduct that brings water from the Oliero caves to the plateau.

Ascent with little traffic and almost entirely in the woods, it almost never presents breathtaking views but it is famous for being the first ascent of the Sportful Dolomiti Race. From the Arsiè side, the one tackled uphill by the granfondo, it is 18.6 kilometers long and has an average gradient of 6%.
