    The Plateau of Asiago  

Presentation

The Plateau of Asiago consists of 7 communes. An area with warm hospitality and rich in history, an area which is easily accessible from major northern cities of Italy. With its natural environment free form pollution, and an enchanting atmosphere, the Plateau provides hotels, apartments, campsites, restaurants, shops, pubs, discos, a variety of sporting facilities and has all that you need to experience never ending moments of relaxation and enjoyment.

Spring

While the first herds of sheep come up onto the plateau and the cows once again find the green meadows. Here, you can admire the reawakening of nature. Endless nature trails allow you to walk freely, you may even meet a little roe deer, or just stop to watch the Erika which peeps out shyly form the last of the snow. And the fields are covered in golden yellow by the flowers of taràssacco.

Summer

Walks, horse riding or mountain biking will bring you into a world of magic where you can once again find the colours, the tastes, the perfumes of the most beautiful Plateau in the world. A game of golf, and art exhibition or a cultural outing will give your holiday a touch of class. While the sight of a family of Gnomes or two marmots playing will help you understand the fairy tale world that exists and it's right up here.

Autumn

Looking at the woods from a military post originating from the Great War, you will see the sun's rays which, through the branches bring some hope to the couple of mouflons as they greet the first snow. You will see the warm colours of beech or larch in contrast against the blue sky and, among clusters of grass, mushrooms, like the red Amanita Muscaria and the delicious and precious Porcino.

Winter

You can find yourself immersed in the absolute whiteness of the highest peaks, while on a ski excursion or with a pair of snow shoes on your feet. You can enjoy the emotions of letting yourself go down slopes of every level. You can go along for kilometre after kilometre the longest and best linked cross country tracks in Italy! And between a ride in a snow mobile and dinner in a typical restaurant, you can take time to go walking around the streets of a little village during a festival, where you will see the customs of the ancient people.
