Description

A guided hike to discover the hills between Bassano del Grappa and Marostica, a territory rich in nature, history, and evocative atmospheres, where the landscape changes constantly between woods, waterways, and ancient rural settlements. The route is determined on a case-by-case basis according to the season, the conditions, and the needs of the group, making each experience unique and adaptable. Walking along hilly paths and wooded stretches, you can get close to or admire iconic places such as Bassano del Grappa, with its historical ties to the Brenta River, and Marostica, famous for the game of chess and its medieval walls that dominate the landscape. The hills surrounding these towns offer a more secluded and quiet environment, ideal for a slow and mindful exploration. Depending on the itinerary chosen, you may encounter shady forests, streams, and small waterfalls, cool and rejuvenating environments where water and vegetation create a pleasant microclimate, especially in the warmer months. The presence of the Brenta and the side valleys contributes to making the area particularly varied from a naturalistic point of view. The hike may include passing by small churches immersed in the woods, such as the Hermitage of San Bovo or the Pieve di San Giorgio, secluded and evocative places that tell of an ancient spirituality and a strong bond with the land. Along the way, you can pass through or near small villages and hamlets such as Valrovina, San Michele, Valle San Floriano, and San Luca, as well as wayside shrines and evidence of popular devotion. The pace is leisurely and suitable for those who want to observe, listen to, and understand the landscape. The guide accompanies the group, offering insights into the nature, history and transformations of the area, at a leisurely pace and away from the busiest routes. An ideal experience for those who want to get to know the most authentic Veneto, among hills, water and hidden villages, in a continuous balance between nature and culture.
