PRACTICAL INFORMATION – PASUBIO WAR MEMORIAL

How to get there

From the A4 Milan to Venice motorway, in the proximity of the Vicenza Est exit, go onto the A31 Valdastico motorway as far as the Schio-Thiene exit. The road goes along the valley of the Leogra; from Valli del Pasubio it takes about another 25 minutes to get to your destination. Follow the road to Passo Pian delle Fugazze; turn left towards Malga Cornetto just before the pass and you are almost at your destination. Follow the directions for Ossario del Pasubio (the Pasubio Ossuary), the war memorial.

Visitors are requested, however, not to leave their vehicle parked for longer than the time they take to see the memorial.
