Riscoprire le Prealpi trevigiane

Year: 2011 Format: 12x22 Pages: 240 Photos: with 30 walking excursions from Valdobbiadene to Vittorio Veneto. The Treviso Prealps, rich in valleys and peaks which in recent years have been neglected by mass tourism but once well known to local populations, still offer the 21st century hiker hours of relaxing walks among refuges, mountain huts and pastures. In a landscape that changes incredibly with the seasons, you can find itineraries that are not very difficult - only some passages are exposed or have short equipped sections - which can always be tackled by anyone even with a minimum of attention. The ease of access to the starting points of the walks, combined with the possibility of climbing to high altitude extremely quickly, allow you to enjoy the spectacular panorama of the Treviso plain and the Belluno valley, thus avoiding tiring and exhausting approaches, as often happens when you go to the most popular Dolomite peaks. The volume is divided into five chapters which illustrate the Treviso Prealps in a complete and exhaustive way for the first time: from the paths around Mount Cesen to those between Combai and Follina; from the hiking itineraries of Valmareno and Praderadego - in the places where perhaps in the past the mysterious Roman Via Flavia Augusta Altinate passed and where the fortified complex of Castelbrando still stands - to the valley of Cison and Refrontolo concluding in the east with the routes around the San Pass Boldo and Col Visentin. The experience of years of walking condensed into an agile volume, made accessible to a wider audience of curious hikers, attentive to the territory and the historical memory of these places. “Rediscovering the Treviso Prealps” pays homage to the people who dedicate themselves to the maintenance of these little-known routes and who thus offer us the safe use of the paths used for hundreds of years by shepherds and farmers.
