Belluno and the Veneto Dolomites

The small town of Belluno looks out of a natural balcony onto the Piave valley that opens out enchantingly down beyond the town's neighbourhoods, protected as if by magic by a ring of mountains that gently stand out against the clear blue sky. The breathtaking view forms a magnificent backdrop to this town which is full of nooks and crannies of great historical interest. Thanks to the Dolomites, the whole province of Belluno offers, in wintertime, ski runs both for downhill and cross country skiing. The most famous downhill slope is the Nevegal with almost 30 km of ski runs that are always covered and in good condition; it also offers the excitement of night-time descents down illuminated slopes. The Nevegal cross country course really grips enthusiasts who want to commune with the silence of the woods.
