Discover Cison Di Valmarino

Historic town between the foothills of the Alps and cultural experiences

Cison di Valmarino lies at the foot of the Trevisan Pre-Alps and combines a historically shaped town character with museums, trails, memorial sites and regional cuisine. If you are looking for accommodation for a trip offering a variety of experiences, you will find several clearly distinct themes here: historical heritage, short walks through the town, crafts and regional specialties.

Museums, crafts and distinctive townscapes

The Museo della Radio d'Epoca displays 72 historic radios dating from 1920 to the 1970s. Artigianato Vivo offers a different perspective on local culture: during this event, Cison di Valmarino becomes an open-air workshop where visitors can watch more than 200 craftspeople at work.

Ruraliă is a historical and natural-history educational trail and a museum of knowledge and memories in the Borgo Case Marian in Cison di Valmarino. The Via dell'Acqua is a three-kilometre route through the town. The Via dell'Acqua Breve leads from the Museo Ruraliă to the Mulino Fiorin and returns via Campo Molino as a circular route.

Church, memorial complex and Castelbrando

The town's historical heritage includes the Chiesa arcipretale, an 18th-century church with two façades and 19th-century sculptures by Marco Casagrande. The Bosco delle Penne Mozze is a dispersed memorial complex in Cison di Valmarino with memorial plaques commemorating Alpini from the Province of Treviso who fell in the 20th century. Paths through the Bosco delle Penne Mozze lead to stelae by Simon Benetton bearing names, dates of birth and death, the division and the cause of death. A total of 2,448 Alpini are listed there who fell in the First World War or in later conflicts.

Above Cison di Valmarino, Castelbrando stands on a rocky spur and encompasses 2,000 years of history. The historic Strada dei 100 giorni was built by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1918 and features five hairpin bends through tunnels. The two sites give the town's historical profile distinctly different forms: Castelbrando represents a long history at a prominent location, while the Strada dei 100 giorni is a specific example of military construction history.

Trails, regional cuisine and wine

Cison di Valmarino offers trails as well as routes for Nordic walking, cycling and horseback riding. The town's culinary heritage is reflected, among other things, in Buzholà, traditional biscuits from Cison made with egg yolk, flour and butter. Spiedo is a local dish of pork, chicken and rabbit cooked on a spit for at least seven hours.

The area around Cison di Valmarino belongs to the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG wine region; the wine can be tasted and purchased at the area's wineries.
