Trail degli Eroi
The trail on the paths of Monte Grappa, a sacred place of the Great War
About Trail degli Eroi
Running on the paths of memory
The Trail degli Eroi is one of the most evocative mountain races in the Veneto region, set on the paths of Monte Grappa, the massif on the border between the provinces of Treviso and Vicenza. It's not just any trail: Grappa is a sacred place to the memory of the First World War, the scene of decisive battles, and every step along its paths traverses the history of the Italian 20th century.
Three competitive distances
The race offers three competitive routes: the Trail degli Eroi (46 km, 2,500 m elevation gain), the complete itinerary that goes from the Sacello della Madonna di Valle Santa Felicita to Campo Croce, climbs to Cima Grappa, descends towards the Sentiero delle Meatte, and continues through Cima della Mandria, Monte Archeset, Val delle Mure, Altavia degli Eroi, and Monti Asoloni; the Sky degli Eroi (27 km, 1,700 m elevation gain), the most popular, and a 12 km route.
For everyone too
Alongside the competitive races, the Trail degli Eroi offers non-competitive routes: the Santa Felicita degli Eroi (14 km, 800 m elevation gain) and the Mini Trail (1.5 km) dedicated to children. The start and finish are in Romano d'Ezzelino (Vicenza), at the foot of the massif. An event that intertwines nature, sport, and memory in the setting of Monte Grappa.
