The Great

War Road

1 DAY TOUR ON VESPA
WITH ROAD BOOK

A truly timeless journey through abandoned and exclusive places immersed in the history of forgotten places but with a unique charm. This is a tour for connoisseurs accustomed to adventure and something different from everyday life.

If you have already tried the other tours and you are an expert driver, you can rent the most famous scooter in the world to climb through the winding tunnels of the San Boldo Pass and enjoy driving the Vespa in an uncontaminated environment.

Interesting Facts and Local Culture

The ‘road of 100 days’ is a breathtaking feat. Built by 300 prisoners of war and the same number of Austro-Hungarian soldiers, it was hewn out of the mountainside with hairpin bends hacked out of the rock. It was re-opened after WW I only in 1990.
Brent de L’art is a canyon hewn naturally out of the rock over 15,000 years. Erosion caused by the cold turquoise waters has brought to light thousands of layers of coloured rock. If you like, and are very careful, you can dip your legs into the water to refresh them.

Itinerary

Ascent to the San Boldo Pass is along the hairpin bends and tunnels of the fascinating road built in just 100 days in 1918 to carry supplies to the Austrian front during WW I. On reaching the Pass, carry on to find the Brent de l’Art micro-canyon, an authentic geological gem. Continue ascending towards Monte Visentin (last part on foot only) and then descend to Santa Croce Lake. Fantastic landscapes and a magnificent culinary experience at Pranolz or Valmorel!
The same itinerary offers some alternatives to take you to Pianezza, Praderadego via Zumelle Castle, or even farther to Monte Grappa, Monte Tomba and Monte Cesen, visiting the dairy huts Mariech, Badui, and Posa Puner.

Food and Wine

This tour includes some culinary specialities. Typical mountain dishes, such as pastin con polenta (a sort of pork and beef hamburger, served with polenta), soppressa and salami, and local cheeses at Pranolz and Peden and from the dairy huts of Nevegal, Monte Cesen and Monte Grappa.
