Together with Pian Cansiglio and Cornesega, Valmenera is one of the three depressions that make up the central part of the Cansiglio Plateau. The largest in terms of area. This evocative basin is particularly known for its cold microclimate, where record thermal inversions are recorded with temperatures that, in the winter months, can drop to extreme levels. A historical peak was reached in March 2005, when ARPA Veneto analyses recorded a temperature of -35.4°C. Located in the municipal territory of Tambre (BL), it has a wide and flat bottom, called Piano di Valmenera. It represents a typical polje, whose slopes are largely covered by arboreal vegetation; the western slopes, on the other hand, are characterized by meadows, with rather degraded herbaceous vegetation, due to exploitation in the form of mowing and grazing. The dairy farm of the same name, which today operates as a farm stay, is in fact surrounded by 74 hectares of meadows used for grazing its own livestock. Up to here, through the Campon valley, came a tongue of the ancient and vast Piave Glacier. The Piano di Valmenera and part of the basin are part of the "Pian di Landro-Baldassarre" Oriented Nature Reserve.

Nestled at the foot of the Cavallo ridge, in the municipality of Budoia, Dardago is a village where time seems to flow with the same constancy as the waters of the Artugna stream. Characterized by spontaneous architecture in local stone, the historic center winds through narrow alleys and courtyards that bear witness to an authentic rural past. The church of Santa Maria Maggiore dominates the settlement, but it is the surrounding nature that defines the identity of the place: the trails that climb towards the mountain pastures offer panoramas ranging from the Friulian plain to the sea. The agricultural tradition lives on today in the valorization of typical products and in an atmosphere of rare tranquility, making this village a fundamental stop for those seeking genuine and silent contact with the roots of the Pedemontana.

Polcenigo, nestled between the springs of the Livenza river and the foothills of the Carnic Prealps, is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Its historic center is an elegant network of stately palaces in Venetian style, testifying to the prestige of the noble Polcenigo family. Walking through the alleys, you discover a timeless atmosphere, dominated by the remains of the medieval castle that watches over the village from the top of the hill. The beating heart is Piazza Plebiscito, but the greatest charm lies in the symbiotic relationship with water: canals, old mills, and small bridges create picturesque views. Not far away, the Gorgazzo and Santissima springs offer waters of an almost unreal turquoise blue, making the village a fundamental stop for those seeking historical beauty and nature.
