Discover Comelico Superiore

Comelico Superiore combines culture, trails through the valley and winter sports to create a diverse destination. When choosing accommodation in this area, you can tailor your stay according to whether you want to discover historic buildings and local traditions, explore themed trails or make use of the facilities at the Val Comelico Ski Area. The individual experiences have different focuses and can be clearly distinguished when planning your trip.

Culture and history in Dosoledo

Dosoledo is home to the Chiesa dei SS. Rocco e Osvaldo. The Neoclassical church was designed by Colusso and later by Giuseppe Segusini, and contains valuable frescoes and altars. It therefore provides a specific point of interest for anyone who wants to explore sacred art and regional architecture during their trip.

Also in Dosoledo is the Palazzo Zandonella - Dall'Aquila. The 17th-century palace houses the Museo Algudnei and is associated with a wealthy family involved in the timber trade. Anyone wishing to understand the historic character of the village beyond individual buildings will find here an insight into the history of the family and the economic context connected with it.

The region’s heritage also includes La Stua on the Torrente Padola. The artificial dam made it possible to transport timber by rafting. Every year in Dosoledo, on the Sunday closest to February 9, the Maskarada is also celebrated in honour of the patron saint Sant’Apollonia. If you plan your stay for this period, this festival is a special cultural highlight to consider when planning your trip.

Themed trails and landscape experiences

There are four themed trails in Comelico Superiore: Tròi dli mascri, Tròi dli Tradizion, Tròi di bacani and Tròi di mistieri. Wooden statues stand along the trails, allowing physical activity to be combined with motifs from crafts, everyday life and regional tradition. Depending on your personal interests, you can choose a more culture-focused approach or place greater emphasis on being out and about.

The Tròi di mestieri runs between Padola and Dosoledo. Its sculptures depict the work that has shaped the valley. When planning a hike, this thematic focus is just as relevant as the route itself. Another option is stage 4 of the Sentiero Frassati, “da S. Pietro a Padola”. It leads through Dosoledo and then reaches Padola. A mountain bike route starts at La Stua on the Torrente Padola at an altitude of 1,215 metres.

From Comelico Superiore, destinations including Valgrande, Alta Val Padola, Lago di Sant’Anna and trails to Popèra can be reached. These destinations offer different types of landscape experience. When choosing your accommodation, therefore consider which of the experiences mentioned should be the focus of your stay.

Winter sports in Padola

There is also a clear regional focus for a winter stay. The Val Comelico Ski Area is part of Dolomiti Superski, a ski network with 115 kilometres of ski runs and 31 lifts. The ski runs from Padola reach up to 2,000 metres at Col d’la Tenda and are part of the “UNESCO Dolomites Nature Park” route. This information helps you distinguish a stay focused on winter sports from a trip centred on culture, themed trails or landscape destinations.
