A very good starting point for itineraries and excursions on foot, mountain bike or horseback is at Chies d'Alpago, dominated to the north by a long mountain range from Monte Teverone to Monte Cavallo and marking the border with neighbouring Friuli.
The former elementary school houses the Alpago Museum of Natural History, which offers a rich collection of minerals, fossils, animals, plants and some Paleovenetian artefacts.
There are numerous sacred buildings rich in history and art in the various hamlets scattered throughout the municipality. At Chies d'Alpago, as in the other villages of the Alpago basin, you can try Alpago Lamb, a Slow Food presidium.
Curiosities and tips
- The hamlets of the municipality are linked to the ancient territorial management of Rules, which were established in this area beginning in 1280
- In the hamlet of Lamosano stood the castle of Endrighetto da Bongaio; unfortunately only a few ruins of it remain today
- Among the artefacts preserved in the Museum of Natural History you can also find a jawbone of an Odontoceti, a dolphin-like species that inhabited the ancient Alpago Sea
