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.

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.

Suspended between the ground and the sky, clinging to the rocky wall of Mount Baldo, the charming Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Crown is a sacred site made beautiful by both its spiritual character and the originality of the surrounding landscape. The Sanctuary, belonging to the Diocese of Verona, is in Spiazzi, a hamlet of Ferrara di Monte Baldo.

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.

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 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.
