WHY THIS HIKE

Snowshoeing to Cima Ekar in Asiago

Partendo dalla località Turcio, dove è possibile lasciare l’auto, si percorre una strada forestale che risale verso la sommità del monte, tra boschi e prati innevati. Lungo la salita passeremo per una delle tipiche cavità carsiche dell'Altopiano: il Brutto Buso. Giunti sulla cima, si può ammirare l’Osservatorio Astronomico, prima di percorrere una parte del sentiero dedicato al maestro Patrizio Rigoni, lungo il quale sono presenti alcune sculture ed opere in legno e da cui si possono ammirare le Prealpi bellunesi e alcune cime delle Dolomiti. La meta finale dell’escursione, però, è la panchina gigante di Asiago, da cui si può godere di un bel panorama sulla conca centrale dell'Altopiano e le cime circostanti, come Verena, Portule ed Ortigara, prima di ridiscendere per altro sentiero fino al punto di partenza. In caso di assenza di neve, l’escursione si svolgerà ugualmente, senza l’uso delle ciaspole.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an environmental hiking guide and a historian. I love the mountains and I lead groups in the Piccole Dolomiti and on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni: two areas where history isn't in a museum, it's along the trail, and you just need to know where to look. I work for the Biosphaera cooperative, which deals with slow, sustainable tourism, environmental education and cultural projects: that's how I hold together what I studied and what I do. Walk with me and you'll go home with one more story and a few less certainties. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
