Vizentiner Alpen

Just left of Bolzano – not to the right, where everyone turns towards Lake Garda – and you find yourself in a nearly unknown mountain world: the Vicentine Alps. Here, resonant names like the Lagorai mountain range and Monte Grappa await you. Located in Trentino and the provinces of Verona and Vicenza, the Vicentine Alps are a secluded hiking paradise for nature lovers and fans of Italy. This Rother hiking guide presents 58 varied tours.

The selection of tours includes easy to more challenging hikes and mountain excursions. The season can be enjoyed well into autumn, with accommodations and huts offering regional delicacies – ideal conditions for a wonderful hiking holiday with Italian flair.

The region south of the Dolomites is surprisingly quiet in terms of tourism, yet it has much to offer: A scenic highlight is the 70-kilometer mountain arc of Lagorai, featuring red and green rocks, peaks reaching nearly 3000 meters, numerous lakes, and charming pastures that ensure hiking bliss. The high mountain experience continues in the adjacent areas of Asagio, the Pasubio massif, and the Piccole Dolomiti. It becomes gentler at Monte Grappa and the surrounding areas of the Alps – here, magnificent panoramic views of the Po Valley and the Adige Valley unfold.

Each tour is presented with a reliable route description, a detailed map excerpt, and an informative elevation profile. Additionally, there are many tips for interesting detours and lovely places worth visiting. GPS data is available for download.
