This area, enclosed between Monte Civetta and Monte Pelmo (3,168 metres), includes the resorts of Alleghe (at the foot of the majestic lake of the same name), connected to Palafavera, where the famous piste 2000 is located, which in turn is connected to the Val di Zoldo and Selva di Cadore (in the forest). Not to be missed: the illuminated Pecol trail at night and the Great War theme trail. We appreciate the view on the lake, its family dimension and a snowpark open even at night.

This company offers you the opportunity to discover the lagoon on board traditional boats, especially fishermen's boats, such as the "Bragozzo".

One of the oldest fishermen's cooperatives in the lagoon, run with sympathy by a group of enthusiasts who, after having worked for some of them in the furnaces of Murano, have decided to dedicate themselves to pescatourism. They offer excursions (about 2 hours) on board their own boat for fishing activities in the lagoon, around Burano and north of Torcello. A great opportunity to learn how traditional methods can be combined with modern techniques. There is also the possibility of tailor-made trips.

This navigation company has been leading nature lovers and the curious through the Po Delta for over twenty years. On board boats that can accommodate between 10 and 30 people, the excursions last between 1 hour 30 minutes and 3 hours to discover the different realities of the delta: the Po di Maistra canal, the Po di Pila mouths, the Caleri lagoon and the Po di Tolle lagoons. Most of the time, an ornithologist accompanies the walk. Among the options, also that of the bike&boat, where the navigation will then be completed by a bike ride.

A 6-hectare botanical garden and an accrobranche course complete the ensemble. On sunny days, from the highest peaks, the panorama extends to the Venetian lagoon.

The Venice Tennis Club was established on the Lido in the early 1920s. It recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, a century of amateur matches, decades of tennis schools and, above all, the 30th anniversary of the Taghe Volpi, its showcase tournament, an event of national and even international renown that sees top players compete against each other every year. If you're a clay-court enthusiast in Venice for an extended stay, you won't be able to resist hitting the little yellow ball on one of the courts for long.

What better way to discover Venice, its nature, history, culture, islands and lagoon than by water? While a gondola ride remains a must for romantics, sporty types may well appreciate Venice Kayak's excursions. The agency offers, among other tours, a day of kayaking to discover Burano.

This historical theatre of the city of Padua, inaugurated in 1751 under the name Teatro Nuovo, was built at the request of the aristocracy of the city, anxious to have its own urban theatre. Restored in the second half of the 19th century, it was renamed Teatro Verdi. Recently renovated, it has a resplendent façade. The programme includes classical and contemporary repertoire as well as ballet. During your stay in Padua, do not hesitate to attend a show, provided you plan and book your evening in advance.
