Alta Via 8: Alta Via degli Eroi (Italy)

Submitted by Francesco De Riz on Thu, 09/10/2020 - 12:44pm
Description

This route named Altavia 8, which goes from Feltre to Bassano del Grappa, is also known as "Alpine Path of the Heroes". It starts from the Piave Valley, in the vicinity of Feltre, and ends in the Brenta Valley: two big rivers that remind us of heroic achievements and mark the boundaries of this pre-alpine route.

The peculiar configuration of the mountain enables hikers to avoid hard ascents and descents, except for the first part (Feltre - Mt Tomatico) and the last (Cima Grappa - Bassano).
