Arsiè between Lago del Corlo and mountain history

Arsiè: Lago del Corlo and traces of history

Arsiè combines Lago del Corlo with a series of historic sites. The artificial reservoir shapes the lower Feltrino, while Forte Leone on Cima Campo establishes a strong connection to the history of the area. At the same destination, you can encounter water, historic buildings, villages, churches, museums and regional products.

Lakeside landscape at Lago del Corlo

Lago del Corlo is an artificial reservoir that stretches through the lower Feltrino from Arsiè to the remains of the former hamlet of Rocca. You can explore the lake’s bays and secluded corners by kayak. Paths around Lago del Corlo invite you to discover the lake and its history. Important for your planning: swimming is not permitted in Lago del Corlo, as the lake is not designated as a bathing lake.

Another historic element by the water is the Ponte della Vittoria at Lago del Corlo. It was inaugurated in 1928.

Paths to the fortress, villages and churches

The most convenient road from Arsiè to Forte Leone begins in Arsiè’s main square and leads towards Col Perer. Forte Leone on Cima Campo was built between 1906 and 1912 as part of the Brenta-Cismon fortress.

Fumegai is an abandoned village in the Carazzagno valley at an altitude of approximately 600 metres. The hamlet of Fumegai was built at the beginning of the 19th century. The Solivi settlement in the Fastro district consists, among other things, of rural houses with wooden exterior balconies that were formerly used to dry agricultural products.

The access path to the Oratorio di San Lorenzo in Rivai is lined with 14 niches recalling the Stations of the Cross. The parish church of Arsiè preserves an original apse dating from before the year 1000.

In the municipal mountain huts in the Celado–Cima Campo area, visitors can taste and buy alpine cheese, butter, ricotta and other typical products during the summer season. The Casel de Melam cheese-making museum in Mellame recalls dairy processing and other gastronomic traditions.
