When you’re holidaying in winter, Cortina d’Ampezzo (about an hour’s drive) is snow sports-central, being hub of the vast Dolomiti Superski area with runs from scarily black to gentle slopes for beginners. Summertime visitors can walk in lush green meadows with Lake Santa Croce views at Nevegal (20 minutes), follow challenging trails up to Col Visentin (an hour and 10 minutes) or take family jaunts around the reservoir at Vajont Dam (25 minutes). When you fancy a change of scenery, there are several lovely towns to investigate. The historic centre of Belluno (10 minutes) is packed with medieval and Renaissance-style palazzos and churches, while Feltre (40 minutes) is an Insta-friendly hill town prettily arranged around landmark Alboino Castle. Gorgeous Treviso (55 minutes) is a mini-Venice with a maze of canals, 15th-century defence walls and an impressive cathedral with a white-colonnaded facade. If you’re itching to see the real thing, then the breathtaking canals, palaces and museums of Venice itself are just over an hour’s drive away.
