Tips from the Community
If you are traveling in the area between San Vito di Cadore, Cortina d'Ampezzo and Venice, it is easy to confuse it with other Dolomite lakes, but the well-known Lago Morto of Veneto is located near Vittorio Veneto, at the foot of the Cansiglio plateau.

The old SS51 as a cycling route, not a cycle path, great views. Meanwhile, it's quite popular with many 🏍️🏍️🏍️ as a speed track.

Certosa di Vedana, founded in 1457 on the remains of the ancient medieval hospice of San Marco di Vedana, is one of the most evocative monastic complexes in the Belluno Dolomites. Located at an altitude of 430 m at the entrance to the Val Cordevole, it overlooks the characteristic 'masiere' (expanses of gravel and boulders) at the foot of Piz di Vedana, in a setting of absolute quiet and isolation, perfect for Carthusian life. The complex, enlarged and partly rebuilt after 1882, features the typical structure of a Carthusian monastery: a large cloister with the monks' cells, austere and secluded environments, and a more monumental church dedicated to St. Mark. According to tradition, some architectural elements – such as the grand staircase – were designed by Palladio. For centuries it was a place of welcome for pilgrims along the "route of the hospices". After various historical events, it today hosts a community of cloistered nuns. The complex cannot be visited internally, but the exterior and the surrounding landscape offer an atmosphere of great spirituality and silence.

The Lago Morto is a fascinating lake basin located in Val Lapisina, in the hamlet of Nove within the municipality of Vittorio Veneto, in the province of Treviso. It is called "dead" because it is devoid of visible artificial inlets and outlets. It is fed by underground karst fissures and infiltrations coming from the nearby Lago di Santa Croce.

The Pian del Cansiglio is a vast plateau located in the Belluno Prealps at an altitude between 900 and 1,200 meters above sea level. It extends across the Veneto region (provinces of Belluno and Treviso) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (province of Pordenone). Its famous and immense forest – composed mainly of beech and Norway spruce – is considered one of the largest and most fascinating in Italy, historically known as the "Bosco della Serenissima" because the Republic of Venice drew timber from it for the oars of its ships.
