Asiago

The climb to Monte Summano is always beautiful and interesting and being exposed to the south it can be done practically all year round. From the top there are trails that vary in difficulty and beauty but are always fun and exciting.

Where do we start from? I don't know this area but I would like to go there.

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!
