| Monte Grappa served as an important Italian defense position during World War 1. |
 |
| It has excellent overwatch over the surrounding area. |
 |
| The Alpini now operate a memorial there. |
 |
| Artillery craters and foxholes still dot the landscape. |
 |
| Over 12,000 Austrian and Italian soldiers are buried at the memorial. 10,000 are unidentified to this day. |
 |
| There is a Rifugio next to the memorial. |
 |
| More artillery craters, supply lines, and foxholes. |
 |
| There are 30 switchbacks on the drive from the towns below, with over 1500 meters of elevation gain. |
