The best road cycling routes around Claut

The new arch bridge over Lake Barcis, inaugurated in the early months of 2021, is a strategic infrastructure located near the Ponte Antoi dam. It is a single-span arch bridge, approximately 78 meters long with an overall width of 12.90 meters. It allows the transit of heavy vehicles — particularly those used for transporting inert materials during the basin's de-silting operations — avoiding passage over the historic dam or through the inhabited center of Barcis. https://www.fvgstrade.it/it/20585/fase-finale-varo-ponte-di-barcis

Lake Aprilis, better known as Lake Barcis, is an artificial basin created in 1954 by damming the Cellina stream near the Ponte Antoi gorge. It owes its characteristic brilliant green color to the combination of sunlight with minerals and calcareous sediments carried by the water. The presence of dense beech and fir forests along the banks accentuates the emerald green tones.

The Tambre Clock Tower (Tambruz hamlet) is a charming historical point of interest and an important landmark for cycling and hiking enthusiasts.

Welcome to Piancavallo in the cool

The Bacalenc are a famous group of local sculptors originally from Valmorel (a hamlet of Limana, BL). Born for the village festivals, they have transformed this village in the Belluno Prealps into a true open-air museum dedicated to local identity and the works of the writer Dino Buzzati. Their work is divided into several installations in the village: Piazza di Valmorel: Four large larch wood statues watch over the four corners of the main square. I Miracoli di Val Morel: On the facade of the former Turnaria Dairy, eleven wooden bas-reliefs inspired by the fantastic ex-votos of the same name by Dino Buzzati are displayed. Forest paths: Along the paths towards Malga Van, Malga Montegal, and Malga Canal del Gat, the group has installed over fifty sculptures depicting fairy tales, legendary figures, and ancient crafts. You can learn more about the details of these works by visiting the page dedicated to the Wooden Sculptures of Valmorel.

In the center of Valmorel, a street transformed over time into a square has become the main meeting place of the hamlet. It is the highest square in the municipality and overlooks the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, the Al Vejò Nature and Culture Center, the Locanda Valmorel, the Indian Village Museum, and the Epi-Hub of the Elserino Piol Foundation, testifying to the cultural vocation of the village. Named after the martyrs Valentino Andreani and Ruggero Fiabane, who distinguished themselves during the Resistance, the square preserves the memory of a community that paid a high price in human lives between February and March 1945. A commemorative plaque recalls their sacrifice and includes Valmorel in the "Itinerary of Memory" project. At the four corners of the square are the larch wood statues created by the group "I Bacalenc", placed at the convergence of the four roads leading to it: a choice designed to symbolically welcome those arriving at the square.

Ring passing from the path of the finger

Lake Santa Croce is the largest natural basin in the province of Belluno and the second largest in the Veneto region, located in the suggestive Alpago basin. This body of water, framed by the Belluno Prealps, is famous for being a true wind paradise. The constant currents that sweep across it, particularly the afternoon thermal wind, make it an international destination for lovers of sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. Along its shores, equipped beaches for relaxation and a network of trails ideal for trekking and cycling have developed, such as the cycle path that runs along part of it. In the northern area lies the Sbarai nature oasis, a wetland of great ecological value, fundamental for birdwatching and the nesting of many bird species, which enriches the naturalistic charm of this dynamic tourist hub.
