Ponte Serra and Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Serra bridge
Majestic gateway to the Cismon valley, you can admire the centenary dam by crossing the bridge on the border between the municipalities of Sovramonte and Lamon. The spectacular waterfall gives way to engineering work in the least rainy periods, a view that leaves its mark in all seasons and conditions.
Crossing point on the Cismon of the Roman Via Paolina and therefore of the road to Lamon, until 1880 there was a wooden bridge, replaced in that year by a 35 meter high stone bridge, blown up by the retreating Italians in 1917. Rebuilt in shape earlier, it was again blazed by the retreating Germans on May 2, 1945. For the next two years it was replaced by an iron Bailey bridge, while the current concrete bridge was inaugurated in 1947.
Given its position, it was the seat of duties since the Middle Ages, and from the 15th century it became the cause of endless disputes, especially with the Tesini.
In the flood of 1748, a large boulder stopped under the bridge. Subsequently this facilitated the construction of a barrier for the timber, or greenhouse, which then gave the name to the locality. Previously it was called Ponte Alto or also Pontetto.
On the upper mountain side, the road coming from Fonzaso split into two branches: one led to the bridge, the other pointed towards the Ausor Valley, fording it and going up to Sorriva.
A little upstream in 1909 the masonry dam, which still exists today, was built to serve the Pedesalto hydroelectric plant.

Castello Tesino

Highlight • Settlement

Castèl Tasìn or Castèlo in local dialect, Castello Tesino is a municipality of around 1,200 inhabitants located on the plateau of the same name. It borders Lamon and Arsiè, municipalities in the Belluno area, and in its territory there are mountains of particular interest, such as Cima d'Asta (2,847 meters high), which is the highest in the Lagorai-Cima d'Asta group. Since 2020, Graziella Menato has been in office in Castello Tesino, the first female mayor in the history of the municipality.
