The beautiful basin started from malga Ardosetta, which is located at the end of the climb to Covolo. The most challenging part of the climb up Monte Grappa is done.

The question is: why is this place worth visiting? The answer is only one: because the landscape is wonderful, because there is a spectacular view, because it is a site of historical importance, because in this place emotions and thoughts are unleashed. Getting there by the route I took is not difficult or dangerous and with the snow it is a spectacle. Good legs and in a few hours you can get there.

An ideal destination for mountain and history lovers, it offers a 360-degree view and numerous trails, as well as being a point of reference for the memory of the world wars.

If you cycle up Monte Grappa, you should not miss a visit to the "Ossarium", a monumental memorial to the soldiers who died here in the senseless trench warfare during the First World War. The road up Monte Grappa ends at a large car park at Rifugio Bassano. From here, it is only a long flight of stairs to the Ossarium and then you can admire the extensive Ossarium and enjoy the overwhelming view. On my first visit, I pushed my racing bike up the stairs because I didn't have a lock with me. On my second visit with my friend, we locked the bikes in the car park and climbed up.

A nice itinerary on Monte Grappa, with a good gradient, is the ring that from Borso del Grappa leads to Campocroce.
