Tips from the Community
Il Ristoro Crosetta, located at an altitude of 1,118 meters on the homonymous pass that connects the Treviso plain to the Cansiglio plateau, is a historic and unmissable stop for hikers, cyclists, and motorcyclists. This cozy stone and wood structure embodies the quintessence of mountain hospitality, offering a regenerating refuge in every season. The cuisine offers the authentic flavors of the Veneto-Belluno tradition, featuring game dishes, typical Cansiglio cheeses, warm polenta, and fresh mushrooms, all accompanied by homemade desserts and a good glass of local wine. Nestled in a centuries-old beech and fir forest, the establishment boasts a strategic position that makes it the ideal starting point or refreshment stop for exploring the numerous surrounding nature trails, offering an old-world atmosphere for relaxation and good food.

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.

A beautiful bike path that runs along the Meschio River. Along the route, near Viale del Cansiglio, there's a fountain, benches, some games, and a grass beach volleyball court.

If you climb the hill on a clear day, you have a view of Venice, the Jesolo coast and the entire Veneto-Friuli plain.

The beautiful Carron embankment helps avoid traffic on the crossing from Caneva to Vittorio Veneto.

In Valmenera the enormous damage caused by Storm Vaia is still very evident. My photos want to tell what happened between 27 and 30 October 2018 in this splendid valley and the hard work, still in progress, of the forestry and lumberjacks, who have freed the valley from the broken and uprooted trunks by the fury of the wind. In the images you can see the enormous open wounds in the empty plain, without the hundreds of centuries-old pine trees. https://www.geopop.it/la-devastante-tempesta-vaia-del-2018-i-danni-dellestremo-evento-meteorologico/
