콩코‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪15‬개의 산 정상

Col Fenilon is a green, rounded hill rising among the Colli Alti, offering a splendid 360° panorama, even better than the more famous (and lower) Col Moschin: the view extends over the plain, Bassano and the Brenta Valley, the Asiago Plateau, the Lagorai, Mount Grappa, and, on the horizon, the Dolomites. During the First World War, the Colli Alti del Grappa (including Col Fenilon and Col Moschin) were a crucial and extreme point of Italian resistance defending the plain. In June 1918, they were conquered by the Austro-Hungarians, and later retaken by the Italians in a lightning-fast and legendary action. The name derives from "buon fieno" (good hay), due to the excellent mountain pastures it has provided for centuries.

One of the few places on the plateau with a view both of the inhabited part with the presence of the various villages, Asiago in the lead, and towards the north with all the mountains that delimit the plateau (Cima 12, Otigara, Portule....). In addition to Grappa, Lagorai, Pasubio....

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.

Crazy view on the Bassano valley

Croce col fenilon

The large cross of Col del Fenilon (1327 m) is in memory of the fallen and heroic deeds that characterized these places during the First World War. From here the view is truly magnificent. You can admire in one fell swoop the plain up to the sea, the Brenta Valley, the Asiago Plateau and the Grappa peak.

Very beautiful, challenging climb, with a couple of sections where the slope becomes more difficult. The roadway is narrow at times and with the addition of weekend traffic there are some situations in which to pay attention

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.
