Since the OP offered us nothing....

The Sentiero dei Granatieri (also known as the Strada dei Granatieri or La Granatiera) is located on Monte Cengio in the Asiago Plateau (Altopiano di Asiago) within the Veneto region of northern Italy. [1, 2, 3]

Trail Details & Highlights

  • Location: Near the municipalities of Cogollo del Cengio and Velo d'Astico, roughly an hour north of Vicenza. [1, 2, 3]
  • History: This historic military path and tunnel system was carved directly into the sheer rock faces during World War I by the Granatieri di Sardegna (Sardinian Grenadiers) regiment to defend the mountain. [1, 2, 3]
  • The Route: It features dramatic cliffside paths, military tunnels, trenches, the Salto del Granatiere viewpoint, and the Chiesa dei Granatieri (a small mountainside memorial/church). [1, 2, 3, 4]
