Veneto, Italien
The Asiago plateau sits high in the Veneto region of Italy, near the Alps, with wide green fields, forests, and tall peaks over 2,000 meters. Visitors enjoy cool air and stunning views from this large basin at about 1,000 meters up. People hike easy paths through meadows and forests, or tackle tougher treks to mountain spots in summer. In winter, the area turns into a snowy playground for cross-country skiing. The region makes famous Asiago cheese from old methods at mountain huts. Spring, summer, and fall bring wildflowers and outdoor fun, while history from World War I dots the landscape.
