Vodo di Cadore: holidays in the name of history, trekking and taste

Vodo di Cadore is a scenic mountain resort rich in history and traditions. It is placed in the Val Boite valley, on the territory of Oltrechiusa, upstream of the lock of Venas di Cadore.

Those who decide to spend a holiday in Vodo will certainly enjoy the architectural historical and traditional constructions scattered on its hamlets: the old town hall, the school building, the square, but also the typical "Taulà", which are old hay lofts. Even the hamlets themselves are noteworthy: Peaio, placed on Via Regia, boasts several old buildings whereas Vinigo (called "the terrace over the Dolomites") hosts the remarkable Church of Saint John the Baptist, which has been declared a national monument.
