How to Get Around Asiago

Asiago has no railway. The old rack line up from Rocchette closed in 1958 and is now a cycle path.

The usable stations are Vicenza and Bassano del Grappa, with buses on to the plateau. By road, Vicenza is about an hour and a quarter, Bassano about an hour, and Venice around two hours.

The approach roads matter: the plateau is reached by steep, winding climbs from Bassano, Thiene or the Val d'Astico, and in winter these require winter tyres or chains -- which are legally mandated in the season.

On the plateau itself, a car is the practical way to move between the seven communes, though buses connect the main villages. Distances are short but roads are slow.

Cycling is excellent in summer, particularly the old railway route down to the plain, which is a long, graded descent.

How easily, and at what cost, can you combine the region’s main destinations?

Cost compares the options for each route rather than quoting a fare: inexpensive means the price is not a factor in planning, moderate cost means a real line in the budget, and the expensive option is one worth weighing against the alternative. Fares change from year to year; the ranking between them does not.
