Discover Nevegal: Nature, Cycling Routes and Night Skiing

Nevegal combines a distinctive high plateau landscape with nature experiences, cycling routes and winter sports. Anyone looking for accommodation in Nevegal can tailor their stay to their preferred travel experience: around Monte Faverghera, the landscape and alpine wildlife are the main focus; trails and a mountain biking route begin at Piazzale del Nevegal; while night skiing is also possible in the Nevegal ski area.

The Landscape of Alpe del Nevegal

Alpe del Nevegal is a high plateau on the northern slope of the Col Visentin group. The ridge separates the Po-Venetian Plain from the Val Belluna and gives the area a clearly recognizable geographical setting. For travelers who enjoy spending their days outdoors, this character offers different ways to explore the area: you can observe natural landforms, plan a botanical trail, choose a longer cycling tour or, in winter, consider the facilities of the ski area.

Experiencing Monte Faverghera on Foot

The Monte Faverghera Nature Reserve features karst formations such as sinkholes, caves, shafts and karren fields. Alpine animal species are also found there, including capercaillie, hazel grouse, rock partridge and black woodpecker. The protected area can be reached on foot via trails from Piazzale del Nevegal. Travelers who value nature observation and landscapes when planning their trip will find a clear focus for their stay here.

Another natural-history attraction is the Giardino Botanico delle Alpi Orientali. It is a state nature reserve managed by the Reparto Carabinieri Biodiversità di Belluno. The botanical trail is easy, approximately 2,000 meters long and takes about two hours. Guided tours are available by prior reservation. This means the visit can be planned either as an independent activity or as a deeper exploration of the plant world.

Cycling Routes with Different Starting Points

For arriving by bicycle or planning routes during your stay, there are two clearly described options. The Belluno–Nevegal cycling route covers 12.7 kilometers from Piazza dei Martiri in Belluno to Nevegal. The Monte Faverghera–Col Visentin mountain biking route, on the other hand, starts at Piazzale del Nevegal and runs for 14 kilometers to Col Visentin. The different starting and end points can help you decide whether to plan a connection from Belluno to Nevegal or a mountain biking route towards Col Visentin.

In addition, Alpe del Nevegal has almost 100 kilometers of trails for trekking and mountain biking that lead up to the surrounding peaks. Infopoint Nevegal provides maps for trekking and cycling routes.

Winter and Cultural Highlights

In the Nevegal ski area, the Coca Bassa slope allows night skiing. Infopoint Nevegal also sells winter ski passes. This adds a specific winter activity to the summer offerings, without requiring you to base your travel plans on a single season.

A cultural and religious landmark is the Santuario Maria Immacolata “Nostra Signora di Lourdes”. The pilgrimage sanctuary is located on Nevegàl Hill at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Together with the nature and sports activities, it broadens the possible focuses of a stay to include a place of religious history and devotion.
