Rank : 7.3 (average on 3 votes)

Coordinates : 46.141147, 12.305893 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : It is a rather large area (see "Prealps and Dolomiti bellunesi map", No. 024 of tobacco for more details) in which there are many narrow canyons (small sinuous "" ' "" ""), many of which are almost never particularly Rich in water, even in the spring. The walls, often red or gray or a stratification of the two types of rocks, give these holes a particular coloration that is also found in the not distant areas of Brent de l'art, the Val Maor and the Blue Grotto. On the top of the walls of these holes the vegetation grows abundant and in summer it can close further the access of the sun to the underlying bed.

Recommended equipment : Standard for landscape photography, also accompanied by a medium tele, tripod, ND filters, torch (optional; If you want to explore the darkest areas).

Best months : All year round but preferably in the autumn (yellow-red colours of the fronds at the top of the Forres and for the leaves lying on the greto) or in winter (especially if it is a cold vintage, for the colors and reflections of the Pinnacles of ice that stand out on the walls and of the icy torrents). Also possible the light painting with artificial light in areas partially impervious to light. Boots (better if tall, fisherman type) or wetsuit (better) for the most rugged areas. With the obligatory ice the crampons and some stretch of rope if you want to reach the most inaccessible and therefore more interesting areas. Beware of summer because some of the ravines are frequented by those who practise the "canyoning" (Descent of narrow Forres traveled by small streams).

How to get there : From the A27 motorway, exit at Santa Croce del Lago/Alpago and follow the highway towards Belluno/Cortina. In the middle of the lake turn left in correspondence of a small arch. Continue uphill for about a kilometer in the direction of Cornolade Alta. After a few hundred meters of arrives at a bridge where you leave your car in a small clearing overlooking a low gorge constituted by sinuous reddish walls: it is the starting point for the exploration of the area (rather extensive and wild).

Visits : Admission is free but to access certain areas you have to go through private property and then you must be asked permission to move to the owners that photographers are willingly granted.

Notes : It is possible to combine the visit to the Brent de l'art which is about 16 km from Cornolade in the air line; In summer however it is preferable to limit the visit to Cornolade as the Brent has now become too busy.
