In the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, where nature reigns supreme and the views are breathtaking, lies a treasure yet to be discovered, far from the crowds. I’m talking about Falcade and Val Biois, a magical place that offers emotions in every season, authentically narrating the mountain. Perfect for those seeking a vacation filled with relaxation, adventure, and discovery, this haven must be the next destination for your holidays!
A fairytale landscape: nature in 360 degrees
Falcade, nestled in a sunny natural amphitheater at 1100 meters above sea level, is the pulsating heart of Val Biois. Surrounded by breathtaking Dolomite peaks, including Focobon, Pale di San Martino, Marmolada, and Civetta, this village represents an ideal refuge for those who wish to rejuvenate and reconnect with nature.
Those who have already visited the Dolomites might even feel disoriented. You must forget the crowds and frenzy of more well-known destinations. Fortunately, Val Biois remains a destination with a tranquil, almost intimate soul. It’s an authentic mountain, where life flows slowly.
Both adventure enthusiasts and more contemplative spirits will find their dimension here. Sports enthusiasts can indulge in excursions, trekking, via ferratas, and mountain bike trails. While relaxation lovers can enjoy the tranquility of the woods, the beauty of the landscapes, and the slow pace of village life.
And for foodies, Falcade is a true paradise! The authentic flavors of alpine tradition come to life in restaurants and mountain huts. Here you can savor typical dishes accompanied by excellent local wines.
