Facts and practical information

Monte Grappa, Italy, is a mountain that stands as a testament to the resilience and history of the Veneto region. Rising to an elevation of 1,775 meters, this imposing peak forms a part of the Venetian Prealps and has been a significant site throughout Italian history, particularly during World War I.

The mountain became a battleground during the conflict, witnessing fierce fighting between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces. The sacrifices made on Monte Grappa's slopes are commemorated by a monumental military memorial that serves as a resting place for thousands of soldiers who lost their lives in the Great War.

Today, Monte Grappa is not only a place of remembrance but also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The mountain's varied terrain offers opportunities for hiking, cycling, and paragliding, attracting visitors who wish to experience its natural beauty and panoramic views. The summit can be reached by road or through a network of trails, which are frequented by both history buffs and nature lovers alike.
