Together with Pian Cansiglio and Cornesega, Valmenera is one of the three depressions that make up the central part of the Cansiglio Plateau. The largest in terms of area. This evocative basin is particularly known for its cold microclimate, where record thermal inversions are recorded with temperatures that, in the winter months, can drop to extreme levels. A historical peak was reached in March 2005, when ARPA Veneto analyses recorded a temperature of -35.4°C. Located in the municipal territory of Tambre (BL), it has a wide and flat bottom, called Piano di Valmenera. It represents a typical polje, whose slopes are largely covered by arboreal vegetation; the western slopes, on the other hand, are characterized by meadows, with rather degraded herbaceous vegetation, due to exploitation in the form of mowing and grazing. The dairy farm of the same name, which today operates as a farm stay, is in fact surrounded by 74 hectares of meadows used for grazing its own livestock. Up to here, through the Campon valley, came a tongue of the ancient and vast Piave Glacier. The Piano di Valmenera and part of the basin are part of the "Pian di Landro-Baldassarre" Oriented Nature Reserve.

Located in a picturesque position along the road connecting Cison di Valmarino to Follina, the small Church of Madonna delle Grazie is an enchanting example of rural sacred architecture. The building features a sober facade and a welcoming portico, historically intended to offer shelter to wayfarers and pilgrims traversing the valley. Inside, the church preserves an atmosphere of authentic peace, with frescoes and decorations celebrating the Virgin's protection over the community and the harvests. This sanctuary is particularly beloved by the local inhabitants for its simplicity and its deep connection to the territory. Its location, immersed in greenery and surrounded by the silence of the Prealps, makes it an ideal destination for a reflective stop during a walk among the villages, confirming the spiritual and scenic vocation of this corner of the Marca Trevigiana.

Rolle, a hamlet of Cison di Valmarino near Refrontolo, is the first village in Italy to have received FAI protection as an "FAI Viewpoint".
