Guided historical and naturalistic excursion along the 4444 steps and circular route.
DESTINATION: Calà del Sasso - Sasso di Asiago - Asiago Plateau and Seven Municipalities (VI)
"Long as purgatory, dark as the storm, the staircase that leads you to the great old man of the mountain, up there on the Asiago Plateau. Four thousand four hundred and forty-four steps, steep like beasts, hard to name. They start from the Brenta Valley, under grim peaks, at the point where the valley - for those coming from Bassano - seems to split in two, at the height of a village called Valstagna, with its wall of old houses flush with the embankment. The steep slope takes the left crack and burns 810 meters of elevation gain in a flash. It's called "Calà del Sasso", and it's one of the most fantastic works in the Alps." Paolo Rumiz
The route begins at a typical mountain village (Sasso di Asiago) that we leave behind to descend along a path that crosses beech and hornbeam woods, a small scree and leads us towards Valstagna.
Uphill we will face the 4444 stone steps, already traveled who knows how many times by goods, people and animals... a unique HISTORICAL HERITAGE !
Immersed in the bright green of the BEECH leaves, we walk along this ancient road that connects the Val Brenta with the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities, telling the traditions and culture of local commerce over the centuries.
Reservations are mandatory.
DIFFICULTY: we assign a difficulty 4 on a scale from 1 (very easy) to 5 (challenging)
The route is a loop and does not present any particular technical difficulties, but requires a minimum of physical preparation and familiarity with excursions in a mountain environment. The descent will take place between a few short stretches of asphalt road, dirt roads and mountain paths, while you will climb along the ancient staircase of Calà del Sasso. The difference in height is less than 550 m, there is only one short exposed section.
