Summer experience
Summer, what a wonderful season. The clear, blue sky, the green woods and meadows, so many hours of daylight available. Here on the slopes of Mount Ekar, there are so many gifts of Nature.
And the summer experiences you can have with us on vacation in Asiago are no different. Just by staying at our campsite, you can already take advantage of our activities and take part in yoga classes in the morning, or have fun playing a match on our courts. But if you choose to go even a short distance from the campsite, you will come across countless opportunities.

Taking in Nature
Wander along the paths of the Plateau
In the immediate vicinity of Camping Village Ekar, located in the fascinating setting of the Sette Comuni plateau, a world of paths, woods and horizons awaits you. You are in the ideal place to start nature walks, mountain bike trails, and excursions that reveal the history and beauty of the area. Thanks to our collaboration with Asiago Guide, you can participate, upon reservation, in a calendar full of experiences: guided walks along historical itineraries, workshops for children, moonlight trekking, walks with alpacas, and astronomy evenings under the clear sky of the Plateau. And for those who love challenges, the famous “Calà del Sasso”, with its 4,444 steps, is an adventure not to be missed.
Admire the stars and the universe!
Would you like to experience a truly extraordinary evening?

Located just a few minutes from the campsite, the observatory offers evening events with in-depth talks, screenings, astronomical observations, and exciting moments under the dome of the telescope. Each event is different, designed for adults, families, and sky enthusiasts.

Rebirth in the woods: forest bathing on the Plateau
In the quiet heart of the forests that embrace the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni, you can enjoy a truly restorative and profound experience: forest bathing, inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku. This is not just a simple walk in the woods, but a guided sensory journey through nature, inviting you to slow down, listen, breathe deeply, and let yourself be wrapped in the energy of the trees. Led by Giorgio De Guio, an expert with deep knowledge of the Plateau’s forests, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with your inner balance and well-being, spending a few hours among spruces and beeches. Being in contact with nature stimulates the body and calms the mind, naturally helping to relieve stress and restore your sense of centeredness.
Sports & Excitement
Experience the Plateau by bike
The Plateau, with its dirt roads dating back to World War I, is ideal for various styles of cycling, from cross country to downhill. With marked paths and several trails, short excursions or multi-day adventures are possible. The 260-km-long "Grand Tour of the Plateau" crosses the area, starting and ending in Asiago. In addition, using the Melette and Verena chairlifts, it is possible to reach the heights with mountain bikes. There is the opportunity to ride downhill along the same green slopes that, in winter, turn into spectacular ski slopes!
Fly over the Plateau: tandem paragliding
Would you like to see the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Seven Municipalities Plateau) from a truly unique perspective? Feel the thrill of tandem paragliding with a certified pilot, taking off from the “flight field” in Asiago, just a few minutes from the campsite. From May to November, you can fly over breathtaking sights such as the Roana Bridge, the Val d'Assa, the Giant Yellow Bench, the Cima Ekar Observatory, Gallio, the Forte Interrotto, and, of course, the Camping Village Ekar Asiago, all captured on Go-Pro photos and videos. A high-altitude experience filled with adrenaline and wonder.
The experience lasts about an hour and operates every day of the year (weather permitting).
Thrills on two wheels
