Asiago in the summer is a real paradise. I've been going there on vacation for 5 years and usually stay in a downtown hotel in the first 2 weeks of August.
The center is always beautifully alive and there are often interesting events, in the afternoon my family and I almost always move outside where the plateau opens up and go hiking on the various paths.
We are happy because there are several easy routes and therefore also suitable for children (6 and 9 years) in this way you can enjoy nature and the cool without having to undertake too complicated excursions.
I think for families it is ideal as it is a simple and very beautiful place with healthy air! recommended.
