Valli del Pasubio, the Leogra valley under Monte Pasubio
Above Schio, the Leogra valley narrows and climbs towards Pian delle Fugazze, the pass into Trentino. Valli del Pasubio covers this upper part of the valley below the Pasubio massif, known for its First World War sites and for the road of tunnels dug by soldiers. The main village is at around 350 metres, but the municipality is mostly made up of hamlets (contrade) scattered over the slopes, some of them much higher up.
For buyers, the gap between the valley floor and the hamlets is wide. Down below there are houses and flats close to the road to Schio, where the jobs, schools and hospital are; higher up there are stone houses, often old, with narrow access and long winters, sometimes used as holiday homes. There, look carefully at winter access, heating and how much sun the house gets.
There are 3,059 residents (2023), down 8.6% on 2011. The mean age is 48.2 against 45.9 for the province of Vicenza, and over-65s make up 27.3%. Foreign residents are 3.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average; 2 pharmacies are listed in the municipality.
Many municipalities in the Vicenza foothills and valleys are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, and Valli del Pasubio is in zone 2 along with 78 others. The expected ground acceleration in the village is 0.156 g. For stone houses in the hamlets, ask about work done on the structure and the roof. The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps, and on the slopes the report checks the official landslide maps for the address.
