"The forgotten Dolomites lie to the east, far from the crowds of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and Val Gardena, with Belluno as the main gateway."
"Traditional local councils, the Regole di Comunita, still manage the land and forests collectively here, sustaining artisans and alpine farmers in scattered hamlets."
"The Val del Mis lies west of Belluno, where the narrow SP2 road follows the shore of Lago del Mis, worth half a day on its own."
"From the Val del Mis, head north-west towards San Martino di Castrozza, then south through Fiera di Primiero, following signs for the Val Vanoi."
The Dolomites, particularly the Belluno region, provide a tranquil escape from popular tourist areas. The local councils manage the land, supporting artisans and farmers. Traditional foods like Pastin and malga cheeses are enjoyed in communal settings. Scenic paths lead to Monte Pelmo and Cansiglio's beech woods. The Val del Mis features Lago del Mis, ideal for canoeing and swimming in crystal-clear pools. The area also includes the Cadini del Brenton, known for its turquoise pools, although swimming is prohibited there. Lago di Calaita offers breathtaking views at high altitude.
