Vertical, authentic and silent nature
In the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, there is a natural park where the mountains are still free, rugged and authentic. This is the National Park of the Belluno Dolomites: over 30,000 hectares of hidden valleys, deep gorges, high-altitude pastures and vertiginous walls.
From time to time, you come across ski resorts and large hotels, but you can find much more precious treasures: rare silences, extraordinary biodiversity and landscapes that change at every turn, from the Mediterranean vegetation of the Lower Feltrino slope to the Dolomite glaciers above 2,000 metres, over 1,400 plant species (including many rare and endemic examples) and a very rich fauna with chamois, marmots, deer, golden eagles, and black woodpeckers. A paradise for hikers, photographers and naturalists.
You can explore it on foot, along CAI (Italian Alpine Club) trails that go up isolated valleys and lead to austere shelters, or by bike, in the most accessible areas. In summer, the active huts offer local cheeses and stories of simple and strenuous life.
Don’t seek comfort or convenience: here nature reigns supreme, and you are only a guest. Walk with respect, listen to the wind among the larches, follow in the light footsteps of the wildlife. And leave everything as it was, or better than you found it.
