Feltre

The Town of Feltre has pre-Roman origins. It is a fascinating place of Renaissance history, well-preserved and surrounded by medieval walls. While its quiet, slow pace can give an impression of emptiness, it is genuine in its reminiscence of earlier times.

Monte Avena

Mount Avena is essentially a big hill. It is easy to reach, suitable for everyone, and adaptable to many activities. (These include paragliding, cross-country skiing, light walks, relaxation…)
On top of the “mountain” is the Campon d’Avena, which is a grazing land for cows during the summer. A gentle and airy place, it is internationally known as a take-off spot for paragliding and hang-gliding.

Padova

Padova is a dynamic and lively city, home to one of the oldest universities in the world. It is enjoyable to walk through the town center or relax in one of the many town squares. Of particular interest are the Capella degli Scrovegni, which contains acollection of Giott’s frescos, the Basilica di Sant’Antonio and the Botanical Garden.

Parco Dolomiti Bellunesi

For lovers of the wilderness and rugged mountains.

Country and rurality

The territory around La Casetta is mostly rural, and the country still provides many resources and aesthetics. The wisdom, sacrifice, and passion present in the history of the mid-mountain area is too often overlooked. The Cesiomaggiore country is representative of the entire Belluno Valley territory. It does not boast the magnificence of the Dolomites, nor the Unesco brand. It is rather defined by the details connected to its rural history; a row of grapes, a stone drywall, or a field of beans. Appreciating these little things reveals the work, passion, and history of an entire community. It means to appreciate the people. Highly recommended is the “Ethnographical Museum of the Belluno Province and the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park.”
