Belluno
POP 35,500 / ELEV 390M
Perched on high bluffs above the Piave river and backed majestically by the snowcapped
Dolomites, Belluno makes a scenic and strategic base to explore the surrounding moun-
tains. The historical old town is its own attraction, with easy walks past Renaissance-era
buildings. And you'll be happy to fuel up for tramps in the nearby mountains on the city's
mountain-based cuisine and some of Italy's most remarkable cheeses, including Schiz
(semisoft cow's milk cheese, usually fried in butter) and the flaky, butter-yellow Malga
Bellunense.
