Things to do
3-
Monte Grappa
A 1,775-metre massif with a launch at Panettone that works most days and holds several distance records, which is why the paragliding world championships have been staged here. The summit also carries an ossuary holding the dead of both armies.
-
Canale del Brenta
The gorge upstream of the town, used for rafting and kayaking on releases and lined with abandoned terraces of tobacco. The via ferrata routes on its walls are among the oldest in Italy. Release days are published in advance and the operators work from Valstagna.
-
Ponte degli Alpini
A covered wooden bridge over the Brenta designed by Palladio in 1569, rebuilt each time war or flood has taken it, most recently in 1948. Its design lets it flex rather than resist the river. The Alpini association keeps it and the grappa house at its eastern end is part of the visit.
