A green heart nestled among the UNESCO Dolomites, the Belluno Dolomites National Park preserves over 31,000 hectares of untouched nature, a mosaic of landscapes ranging from flat meadows to wild valleys, from high-altitude pastures to steep scree slopes, from crystal-clear streams to the most daring peaks.
Nature reigns supreme here: deer, chamois, roe deer, wolves, and birds of prey inhabit valleys that also host a unique flora, including rare and endemic species. This extraordinary biodiversity led to the park’s establishment in 1990.
From the Cismon to the Piave, including Val Prampèr and the lower Agordino, its boundaries embrace iconic mountain groups such as the Feltrine Alps, the Monti del Sole, Schiara-Pelf, and Talvéna. From the lowest elevation of 412 meters up to Monte Schiara at 2,565 meters, the park offers ever-changing landscape.
Hiking the trails, you will encounter refuges and bivouacs offering typical Belluno cuisine, picnic areas, streams, and waterfalls. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy trekking, climbing, mountain biking, and even horseback riding.
Visiting the park means living authentic experiences in contact with a wild and silent nature, with unique routes like the Alta Via delle Dolomiti Bellunesi. Whether trekking in the woods, cycling along the valleys, climbing the most spectacular peaks, or simply strolling through alpine landscapes, every step brings you closer to the pure soul of the Belluno Dolomites.
From its lowest elevation of 412 metres above sea level to its highest elevation of 2,565 metres above sea level, the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park will be a continuous discovery of landscapes, environments, and beauty.
