The Praderadego Pass is a picturesque pre-alpine pass located at an altitude of 918 meters, connecting the province of Treviso with that of Belluno, specifically linking the municipalities of Valdobbiadene and Borgo Valbelluna. Nestled in an unspoiled natural setting and dominated by the profiles of the Gruppo del Ces, this pass boasts ancient origins: it actually follows the route of the Via Claudia Augusta Altinate, a historic Roman road of great strategic and commercial importance. Today, the pass is a popular destination for lovers of trekking, mountain biking, and road cycling, attracted by challenging gradients and hairpin bends immersed in the woods. Once past the saddle, the view opens generously onto Valbelluna on one side and the Prosecco hills on the other, also offering cozy refreshment points where you can savor typical dishes of the local tradition.

Very pleasant ascent along the cheerful canal

Combai is a picturesque hamlet in the municipality of Miane, nestled between the Prosecco hills and the foothills of the Treviso Prealps. This enchanting village is nationally renowned for the production of Marrone di Combai IGP, a prized and very sweet variety of chestnut to which a famous and historic folk festival is dedicated every autumn, attracting thousands of visitors. The surrounding territory is characterized by a unique landscape, where centuries-old chestnut groves alternate with historic vineyards cultivated on steep hillsides. In addition to its enogastronomic richness, Combai is an ideal destination for nature and trekking lovers, thanks to a dense network of trails, such as the evocative "Troi de la Ròda", which allow you to explore the woods and enjoy wide panoramas of the Marca Trevigiana.

The Stradon del Bosco is a historic itinerary that develops along the southern slope of Montello, in the province of Treviso. This fascinating route, predominantly flat and immersed in nature, runs for long stretches along the Canale del Bosco, an artificial hydraulic work built in the 16th century to divert the waters of the Piave for irrigation and production purposes. Ideally connecting the area of Crocetta del Montello and Montebelluna to Nervesa della Battaglia, the road today represents an ideal destination for lovers of trekking, running, and cycle tourism, particularly for gravel and road bike enthusiasts. In addition to offering suggestive views of the pre-Alpine landscape and the typical oak woods of the hill, the trail intersects the historic "prese" (intakes) of Montello, combining naturalistic beauty with the historical memory of the territory.

The Dorsale del Montello is a unique mountainous ridge, located in the Treviso plain and characterized by a peculiar geological formation of red earth and conglomerate. This natural bastion extends for about 13 kilometers, offering a dense network of roads called Prese, progressively numbered, which connect the base to the summit. It is a paradise for cyclists and trekking enthusiasts thanks to the variable elevation changes and the beauty of the chestnut and robinia woods. Beyond nature, the area is steeped in history related to the Great War, with monuments such as the Military Shrine, and is famous for its food and wine tradition, ranging from chiodini mushrooms to prized Prosecco wine and dishes of Venetian rural cuisine served in numerous osterias.
