Summer

Intended to renew the fame and splendour of the Venetian towns which have marked many of the papacies of the 20th century, the Popes’ road leads visitors through silent walks and meditations in the woods of Cadore and the Venetian plain, discovering the places of birth or retreat of several Popes who had special connections to the Veneto region.

The road is constituted of two paths which leave from the mountain areas of Cadore and Agordino to join up at Belluno. From here, the Popes’ road continues across the province of Treviso and arrives to Venice.

The history of the Great Rogation, the 33 km long procession through the Asiago Plateau that takes place every year on the Saturday before Ascension Day, has very deep roots.

It started as a well wishing walk for the harvest, but in 1600, after the great plague, it became a trail of thanks for the survivors, and the people of the Plateau have been doing it since then with great fervor.

The route of the Great Rogation - which can be walked all year round - goes around seven towns.

The Val d'Oten is a long valley that separates the Marmarole chain from the mighty Antelao massif. An extensive, still wild, and sometimes inaccessible area, it is a popular destination for lovers of outdoor excursions in nature. It is also ideal for relaxing walks and pleasant picnics in the assigned areas. You reach this valley from the centre of Calalzo.

The eight acres of Parco delle Cascate di Molina feature a myriad of natural beauty and trails of varying difficulty to suit everyone. To get to the park you should head to San Pietro in Cariano and follow the signs to Molina, a hamlet of Fumane.

Live a whole day as a true explorer with a helmet and an electric torch to discover the depths of the earth in the Oliero caves, karstic caves located in the municipality of Valstagna, originated thousands of years ago by the force of the water.

The complex of the Caglieron caves is located in the resort of Breda di Fregona, near Vittorio Veneto; it consists of a very deep gorge cut into the calcareous rock of the Caglieron torrent, and of a series of man-made caves in the canyon walls.

The Montagna Spaccata is a deep mountain crevice caused by the Torrazzo river, located not far from the ski lifts of Recoaro Mille, in the province of Vicenza. The alluring path, with spellbinding natural effects and contours, inside the crevice climbs 92 meters.

Time seems to stand still in this picturesque ravine, perhaps as a result of the ancient spell woven according to the legend of the anguana - an acquatic nymph - Etele and Jordan.

With over 1600 hectares, the Forest of Somadida is the largest forest of Cadore and one of the most beautiful forests of the Dolomites. The crown on this beautiful forest, located in Palus San Marco, consists of the majestic peaks of Cristallo, Sorapiss and Tre Cime di Lavaredo.

The Forest of Somadida in the past was used by La Serenissima [Venetian Republic] as a reserve of valuable timber for its navy, while today it is a protected area and containing natural and wildlife heritage of great value.

The province of Belluno offers an infinite number of proposals for undemanding naturalistic itineraries to do with the children.

This path winds through the area of Costa Solana and Case Biasetto, through one of the most beautiful and best preserved stretches of Feltre countryside, and partially overlaps the thematic itinerary Chiesette Pedemontane.
