4 Star Hotel in Vicenza

There is a time of year when the landscape around Vicenza is completely transformed. The woods turn vibrant shades of red, yellow and orange, the air grows crisper, and the scent of chestnuts accompanies the first walks of the season, with a jacket over your shoulders. This is autumn, when nature puts on one of its most captivating displays: autumn foliage.
​Staying at Hotel Viest in Vicenza gives you a convenient base from which to discover some of the province’s most beautiful scenery, combining days in the great outdoors with the pleasure of returning to the hotel for some well-deserved relaxation.

The Asiago Plateau: autumn colours in the mountains

The Asiago Plateau is one of the most spectacular destinations in the Vicenza area during autumn. The leaves of beech, maple and larch trees gradually change colour, creating sweeping copper-toned landscapes that contrast beautifully with the deep green of the fir trees. There are countless opportunities for walking here, from gentle strolls through ancient hamlets and woodland to trails at higher altitudes.
Around Cima Ekar, for example, the beech woods are particularly atmospheric as the sun begins to set and its light filters through the canopy. If you prefer wilder landscapes, head towards Val Galmarara, where the yellow of the larches and the green of the mountain pines create a striking mosaic of colours. It is the perfect place to breathe in the fresh mountain air, slow your pace and enjoy the silence.

Recoaro and the Sentiero dei Grandi Alberi

Another perfect route for admiring the beauty of the autumn foliage takes you through Recoaro Mille and the Montagnole Plateau, an area covered with beech, lime, ash and rowan trees.
​From here, you can follow the picturesque Sentiero dei Grandi Alberi, a trail winding through mountain farms, pastures and woodland, with ever-changing views along the way. In autumn, the landscape seems to transform around every bend, with golden leaves and magnificent centuries-old trees. It is a walk to enjoy at an unhurried pace, perhaps stopping along the way to savour the scents and flavours of the Vicenza mountains.

Autumn foliage and seasonal flavours

A day spent admiring the autumn foliage would not be complete without sampling some seasonal specialities. Autumn in the Vicenza area is a season full of flavour: chestnuts, mushrooms, mountain cheeses, polenta and local wines. Simple yet distinctive flavours that express the character of the area as authentically as its landscapes. After a walk through the woods, stopping at a mountain refuge becomes part of the experience: a chance to warm up and discover the local cuisine while embracing the natural rhythm of the season.

The pleasure of returning to Hotel Viest

After a day spent exploring trails and colourful woodland, returning to Hotel Viest is a pleasure in itself: a haven of comfort and tranquillity where you can truly unwind. Spend some time in the intimate SPA, relax in your room or end the day at Ristorante Mezzaluna, where Venetian culinary traditions meet seasonal ingredients in carefully prepared dishes. Autumn is the perfect time to discover a different side of the Vicenza area: quieter, more intimate and full of surprises.

Book your stay at Hotel Viest and set off to discover the season’s most beautiful colours across the Asiago Plateau, Recoaro and the woodlands of the Vicenza area.
