Nature, History, and Flavor in the Heart of Veneto
A unique experience of history and nature, with hiking trails, mountain sports, and traditional flavors all year round.
If you’re looking for a destination that combines unspoiled nature, centuries of history, outdoor activities, and culinary delights, the Asiago Plateau, also known as the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities, is the perfect place for your next holiday.
A Paradise in the Veneto Mountains
Located at 1,000 meters above sea level in the province of Vicenza, the Asiago Plateau is easily accessible via a scenic road with ten hairpin bends that climbs from the Venetian plain. The landscape opens up to reveal green valleys, flower-filled meadows, and picturesque alpine villages, dominated by tall bell towers and surrounded by majestic peaks.
This area offers the perfect mix for those seeking peace in nature without giving up sports and cultural experiences.
Summer and Winter: A Year-Round Destination
In summer, the plateau becomes a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts: hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and panoramic walks are just a few of the activities available. Adventurous visitors can follow trails leading to historically significant locations such as Mount Ortigara, Portule, and Mount Cima Dodici, along with the ruins of World War I fortresses, now important symbols of remembrance.
In winter, Asiago transforms into one of Italy’s premier cross-country skiing destinations, with over 500 kilometers of groomed trails. Alpine skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding are also popular in this welcoming, family-friendly environment. The snow blankets the landscape in picture-perfect scenery, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere.
A Journey Through History: Trenches and Ancient Villages
The plateau is also a place where the past is still very much alive. The Monte Zebio Open-Air Museum preserves the trenches, shelters, and pathways of the Great War, accessible through well-marked trails—a moving experience ideal for those who want to combine physical activity with historical discovery.
The Church of Santa Margherita in Rotzo, founded in the year 1000, and the prehistoric Bostel sites offer a deeper dive into the ancient roots of this area. In Roana, known as the “village of six bell towers,” visitors can discover the Cimbrian language, of Germanic origin, still alive in local culture.
Taste and Tradition: The Flavors of the Plateau
After a day outdoors, there’s nothing better than stopping at a local mountain hut or restaurant to enjoy the authentic flavors of the plateau. The undisputed star? Asiago DOP cheese, named after the very town at the heart of the region. Don’t miss traditional dishes like mountain herb gnocchi, polenta with mushrooms and game, and apple and cinnamon desserts.
