Malga Bocchette - Cima Grappa
The itinerary concerns some significant places of Monte Grappa through a route that develops on the Belluno side immersed in sunny pastures and gentle valleys dotted with mountain huts. You will climb along the winding mule tracks used for transporting weapons and see the gun openings near the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele III which gives an idea of how imposing the fortification of Cima Grappa was. It will be an opportunity to taste typical mountain products like morlacco or bastardo or simply enjoy the sun caressed by the fresh mountain air.
