Calà del Sasso – The 4,444 Steps Trail

Highlight • Trail

Calà del Sasso is marked by trail number 778. It is approximately 2.5 kilometers long with a difference in height of 744 meters and slopes varying between 20% and 40%.

The Calà del Sasso was built with its current appearance at the end of the 14th century, commissioned by the inhabitants of Asiago who wanted to be able to bring their timber to the river port of Valstagna in a safe and independent way from Gallio and Foza, who demanded heavy duties.
