Panoramic view, breathtaking

Asiago

The summit of Monte Paù (or Cima del Gallo) is reached via an exposed, but wide and safe ledge (former military mule track), then climbing between the rocks and following a short trail in the woods. The rocky promontory hosts a small 'capital' with a Madonna: it is very exposed to the valley, without protection, offering a spectacular view of the plain, of Monte Summano in the foreground, of the lower Val d'Astico, of Cengio and of the Costo road. Below the summit, Italian artefacts from the Great War: a tunnel, rock shelters, artillery positions... the ledge itself is a military mule track. This southern edge of the Plateau - although it was never directly involved in the conflict, which stopped at the Lèmerle and Zovetto mountains - had been fortified as a possible line of maximum resistance, to defend the plain.

Bocchetta Paù (1,286 m) is a small pass between Monte Paù and Cima Fàvaro, featuring a bucolic pasture with a grazing pond surrounded by woods. From the rocky promontory on the edge of the plateau, you can enjoy a spectacular and expansive view of the Veneto plain, the Astico Valley, and the Piccole Dolomiti (with neighboring Summano in the foreground). Interesting fact: the metal shrine on the rock is nicknamed the "Madonnina dei Sauerkraut" (Little Madonna of the Sauerkraut), because it was commissioned as a votive offering after a narrow escape by Mr. Zuccato, owner of the well-known Vicenza-based sauerkraut company of the same name!

Beautiful climb, quite regular, watch out for season changes at the top it can get very cold and sweaty and the bar/hut may be closed

From the wide plain of Monte Zovetta, a habitual grazing area, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama over the entire Asiago basin and the entire skyline of its northern mountain crown. Monte Zovetto was, together with nearby Monte Lemerle and the Val Magnaboschi that separates them, the extreme defensive line of the Po Valley against the attempted breakthrough by the Austro-Hungarian army in two bloody battles: in 1916, with the Italian army to resist the Strafexpedition offensive; in 1918, with the British allied army arriving on the spot to contain a last attempt to break through, with the battle of the Solstice. https://www.storiaememoriadibologna.it/monte-lemerle-monte-zovetto-monte-magnaboschi-3580-place

Mount Lèmerle, along with nearby Mount Zovetto and the Magnaboschi Valley that separates them, held great historical significance during the First World War, as the scene of two distinct and bloody battles. In the first battle, in June 1916, the Italian army managed to hold off the advancing Austro-Hungarian army for 10 days, which, with the Strafexpedition, was attempting to break through and invade the nearby Veneto plain. The second battle, the Battle of the Solstice, took place in June 1918: this time it was the British troops, who arrived in the spring to garrison and fortify the area in support of their Italian allies, who countered the last desperate attack of the imperial forces. Today, the mountain's summit is covered in a dense and beautiful forest of tall spruce trees, but during the Great War, Italian engineers had cleared the view to control the entire Asiago basin. On the slopes of the mountain, in 2016, the remains of an unknown Italian soldier and an Austro-Hungarian soldier who fell nearby were accidentally discovered. https://www.storiaememoriadibologna.it/monte-lemerle-monte-zovetto-monte-magnaboschi-3580-luogo

Long zigzag climb that ends at a restaurant with impressive views of Lugo di Vicenza and the valley that surrounds it. A few meters from the pass appears the road that leads to the town of Mazzette.
