Cadore

Cadore is a region with a varied landscape in the Bellunesi Dolomites that turns into a glittering white winter-wonderland during the cold season. The landscape is characterised by the jagged summits of the surrounding mountain rages of the Dolomites, which change from steep rock faces to densely wooded foothills.

The majestic Monte Antelao (3,264 m) oversees the region. At the foot of the second highest Dolomite summit after Marmolada, you can find several villages that are - characterised by an old history - conscious in tradition. The buildings, designed partly in Grand Architecture, impress with their Venetian style and have a majestic charm. The river Boite runs by the side valley. In the north-west it reaches a spacious, flat area which is home to the famous winter sports resort Cortine d'Ampezzo and attracts many winter sport fans.
