Dedicated to the great Vicenza-born mountaineer Renato Casarotto (1948–1986), one of Italy's strongest and purest climbers. Famous for his solo ascents on the great walls of the Alps and Himalayas, he died during the descent of K2. The cycle path celebrates his free and tenacious spirit.

The Basilica of Santa Maria di Monte Berico is an important Roman Catholic pilgrimage church located on the hill of Monte Berico. Its origins date back to two apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which are said to have appeared to the peasant woman Vincenza Pasini in 1426 and 1428 during a plague epidemic. Mary promised to spare the town if a church were built there, which the population immediately did. The original Gothic church was completed in just three months. The current basilica was built between 1688 and 1703 according to plans by Carlo Borella in the Baroque style, with the Gothic structure incorporated into the new building. The façade was redesigned in the Neo-Gothic style in 1860. Particularly striking are the three symmetrical Baroque façades with 42 figures of saints and three bas-reliefs by Orazio Marinali, as well as the bell tower by Antonio Piovene, erected in 1825. Access from the city is via a 700-meter-long staircase with 150 arches, symbolizing the 15 mysteries of the Rosary and 150 Hail Marys. The basilica is an important center of Marian devotion, attracting numerous pilgrims, and was elevated to a minor basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904.
