From 29 to 31 JULY 2022,
A splendid 3 days of trekking, exploring the only granite island of Lagorai.
The Granite's High Route (Alta Via del Granito) is a splendid circular crossing in the singular granite island of the Cima d'Asta Group - Cimon di Rava, in the Lagorai chain.
The Alta Via runs through a network of ancient paths and former military roads, dating back to the First World War, connecting the only two refuges of the Group.
Three days of walking among stupendous natural landscapes, severe memories of the Great War, huts and mountain pastures, exemplary testimonies of the ancient and now almost dissolved pact of man with nature.
