Holiday apartment in Lastebasse: Nature, Trails and Culture

Lastebasse between the valley slope and the plateau

Lastebasse stretches along the right slope of the upper Astico Valley and lies between 420 and 1,822 metres above sea level. Steep, rugged terrain and deeply incised, wooded valleys shape the landscape. The Val Lunga follows the border with the Trentino municipality of Folgaria, while the Val Lozza follows the border with the municipality of Valdastico.

Nature along the Astico and in the Val Civetta

The Civetta stream rises on or descends from the Altopiano dei Fiorentini and flows into the Astico immediately below the built-up area of Lastebasse. The waterfalls of the Val Civetta are among the few waterfalls in the Province of Vicenza and are considered particularly attractive to tourists.
