Belluno Essentials

Belluno serves as the primary access point to the eastern Dolomites, characterized by dramatic limestone peaks and high-altitude lakes. This collection includes the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the turquoise waters of Sorapiss Lake. The region is defined by historic mountain passes like Giau and Falzarego, which connect alpine valleys. Cultural landmarks range from the Baroque Basilica dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo in Cortina d’Ampezzo to the medieval fortifications of Zumelle and Andraz. The 262-meter-high Vajont Dam stands as a significant engineering site from the 1960s.
