Located on a high plateau in the Venetian Prealps, Asiago is much more than the origin of the famous cheese. This town has a deep history, shaped by the events of the First World War. The monumental military shrine, holding the remains of over 50,000 soldiers, stands as a silent witness to that era. Today, the Asiago Plateau is a place of peace. In winter, it gives excellent conditions for cross-country skiing with over 500 km of trails, while summer invites visitors to hike and mountain bike. The appealing town center is well-suited for a leisurely stroll. A visit to a local dairy is a must to taste authentic Asiago cheese. The surrounding landscape of gentle hills and forests is convenient for relaxing excursions in an environment rich in history and natural beauty.
