Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi

Torrent Ardo springs at the foot of Mt. Schiara, in the heart of the National Park, and flows into river Piave in Belluno. Along its course, it forms spectacular gorges, very interesting from a naturalistic point of view.

Municipality/ies: Belluno

Access: From Cavarzano, Soracroda, Bolzano Bellunese and the nearby locality Le Valli

Difficulty reaching and moving about in the area: The gorges of Ardo can be easily reached also with motor vehicles. It is more difficult, and sometimes dangerous, to move inside them. During the summer, it is necessary to pay attention to sudden floods occurring as a consequence of intense rainfalls involving the upper stretch of the basin.
