SelvArt

In Mezzaselva di Roana there is a Park that attracts visitors and protects the territory where nature and art merge. This is the SelvArt Park, on the Plateau of the Sette Comuni in Vicenza province. The 30 permanent outdoor installations created by internationally famous artists, are in the heart of Kantregar forest and give voice to the forest through materials recovered from the environment. 

The easy 2-hour route of abgout 3 km is open all year round and admittance is free. To know more about Selvart, visitors may be accompanied by the Park guides.

The Museum of Flight

The Castle of San Pelagio is surrounded by three hectares of green land. We are located in Due Carrare, in the province of Padua. This is the place that, between 1917 and 1918, welcomed poet Gabriele D'Annunzio as he prepared to fly over Vienna, a notable episode of the Great War that changed the castle's fate. As a consequence, the Zaborra family, owner of the villa, decided to transform part of the property into the Museum of Flight.

Valle Imperina Mining Centre

The Valle Imperina Mining Centre, located in the municipality of Rivamonte Agordino (BL), in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, is an important part of Italy's historical industrial heritage, as a testimony to mining activity that lasted almost six centuries. This site, once a hub for copper mining and processing, has undergone several historical phases, in a shift from pillar of the local mining industry to an almost forgotten area.

The Park of the Talking Trees

Set among the greenery of Villa Manfrin “Margherita”, a few kilometres from the historic centre of the walled city of Treviso, Parco degli Alberi Parlanti - the Park of the Talking Trees - is a multimedia theme park for families, schools and children of all ages.
The park offers numerous interactive educational trails, educational workshops, multimedia installations and immersive activities, where visitors can learn while having fun.

Ski mountaineering - Palafavera - Coldai

The Coldai lake, under the north-west face of the Civetta, can be reached in winter without too much difficulty, provided that the snow is well settled. The coast above Malga Pioda is notoriously at risk of avalanches, so great care must be taken.

From Palafavera (1505 m), in Val di Zoldo, take the route to Pioda mountain hut (1816 m). From the Pioda hut, continue to the Sonino Refuge (2132 m), which is closed in winter.

The Prince's Path

The path is the ideal circular route linking the literary sites included in the "Literary Park of the Este Hill": from the Castle of the Troubadours that sang Beatrice, to the Arco del Falconetto del Cornaro patron of the Ruzante; from the Villa ex Kunkler, in which Shelley composed some of his most important works, up to Calaone, with a possible detour to the former Convent of Salarola.

Oasis of Ca' Mello

If you long to discover breathtaking scenery, take the route that leads to the Oasis of Ca' Mello, a freshwater wetland of around 40 hectares, located in the southern part of the Delta of the Venetian Po. This important natural area for the conservation of biodiversity stretches out to where the basin of the mouth of an old stream of the Po, now inexistent, was once situated and has existed for just over 300 years.

The Giusti Garden

The Garden of the Giusti Palace, situated very close to the Arena's amphitheatre, is one of the jewels of Verona's Renaissance. Its history begins during the 15th century, when it was the property of the Giustis, a family of wool merchants of Tuscan origin. Through centuries and wars, every effort has been made to preserve the garden and bring it back to its former glory, even during the World War II, when many of its precious trees were suffered serious damage.

Valle Millecampi

The Millecampi Valley is a wetland area of great natural interest that covers 1,608 hectares on the border between the provinces of Padua and Venice. Excursions in this open valley offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in the lagoon landscape among winding freshwater channels called "ghèbi", brackish water pools and large "barene" (salt marshes) periodically submerged by the waters at high tide.
