Some people face it going uphill and soon realize that it was actually made to go down. Because you feel tired just by looking at it. It's a 4444-step gray limestone stairway, on whose side is a hollow that was used to send down to the river Brenta the logs to build Venice's ships, the Serenissima. It is a masterpiece of rock carving for human traffic use, nestled in a wild environment. The Calà del Sasso is the hardest and most secret gateway to the Plateau.

This easy route starts from Praciadelàn, just above the village of Calalzo di Cadore, and follows the CAI path no. 255 (which is accessible for off-road vehicles in summer). The route goes up the long scree slope of Val d'Oten, a long valley that separates the Marmarole mountain chain from the imposing Antelao massif, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Gallio Cross-Country Ski Centre in Campomulo is one of the largest of its kind in Italy, with over 150 kilometres of trails, where you can enjoy Nordic skiing amid the spectacular surroundings of snow-covered woods and unspoilt landscapes.

This is a paradise not just for sports enthusiasts, but also for the whole family, with the Snow Fun Park offering plenty of fun for children, as well as for those who want put on some snow shoes and immerse themselves in nature, enjoying the fairy-tale landscapes.

Nature excursion enthusiasts will greatly enjoy the Cadore Dolomites, especially in winter, which offer beautiful landscapes and countless possibilities to explore them, including with snowshoes. Snowshoeing is a sport which can be enjoyed by all, even children; it allows you to admire extraordinary landscapes and discover untouched nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes, in a magical and almost surreal silence.

The route sets off directly from the run that connects the Padon Pass to the station at the bottom of the Padon 1 chairlift. 

It passes along the wide slope to the right of the resort and down across a wide gentle slope closed off at the bottom by a reverse slope. The route climbs a few metres to the summer path sign. 

From Molino, near the campsite, take the path that leads to the Rifugio Bottari, following the signs, after a climb of 350 metres, you reach the 1573 m of the refuge.

The refuge is open only in the summer but in any case it is located in a small clearing that makes it a pleasant panoramic stop.

Keeping the refuge on the left and following the signs, head towards the Valles Basso hut.

The route winds through the woods again, alternating gentle uphills with small downhills.

From the Fertazza chair lift arrival point, there is a 10-minute walk in the direction of Cima Fertazza, where you find the charming cross that signals you have reached the summit. Once you have reached the top, you continue through a natural opening of the forest until you reach the entrance to a large gully on the left. Skiis on your feet, you begin the descent along the gully until you leave the rocky walls behind, and then intuitively follow the opening of the wood until you reach the first typical houses of the Còi district.

Col di Lana, the "bloody mountain" of World War One, offers today the unique opportunity to visit the scenes that witnessed terrible battles in the first trench war, and to enjoy the spectacular landscapes formed by rocks, snow and ice.

Col di Lana is in fact the centre of the skiing route which passes the military stations and the tunnels that date back to the conflict of 1915-18, among which are the noteworthy outposts Sass de Stria, Lagazuoi, Tofane, Marmolada and Padon.

At the foot of the Marmolada mountain, in the small hamlet of Santa Maria delle Grazie in the Rocca Pietore area, there is a Marian shrine originally dating back to 1693 which is run today by the Friars Minor. The current building was erected since 1947 and was officially consecrated in 1965. The shrine has reached such a level of fame over the years that today it can be considered as the most popular destination for Marian devotion in the Dolomite valleys.

Follina, a small town at the foot of the Trevis-Belluno Prealps, is a focal point of the religious tourism circuit that leads to the discovery of places rich in spirituality and devotion and of great artistic value.

Here you will find one of the most beautiful holy buildings in Veneto: the Abbey of Santa Maria.
