From the dramatic cliffs of Italy’s Dolomites, Belluno’s best tours deliver unforgettable mountain experiences. I love the day trip to the “Big Hole” – a massive geological wonder that’s easily accessible from Venice. Two standouts make Belluno special: the pulse-quickening canyoning adventures at Lake Santa Croce (perfect for thrill-seekers), and the intimate guided hikes through the Dolomites (which transform into magical snowshoe treks in winter). Small groups mean better experiences, and local guides know exactly where to take you. Check out our favorite Belluno tours below.
