Cison di Valmarino between history, trails and regional cuisine

Cison di Valmarino lies at the foot of the Treviso Prealps. Castelbrando stands above the town on a rocky spur, bringing together 2,000 years of history. Here, you can combine exploring a historic site with trails, crafts, museums and regional cuisine.

Culture, crafts and history

At the Museo della Radio d'Epoca, Cison di Valmarino displays 72 historic radios dating from 1920 to the 1970s. At Artigianato Vivo, Cison di Valmarino becomes an open-air workshop where you can watch more than 200 artisans at work. The two experiences focus on different aspects: the museum is dedicated to technical artefacts from the past, while the crafts can be seen being created right before your eyes.

The Chiesa arcipretale is an 18th-century church with two façades and 19th-century sculptures by Marco Casagrande. Ruraliă is an educational trail about history and nature, as well as a museum of knowledge and memories in Borgo Case Marian in Cison di Valmarino.

The Bosco delle Penne Mozze is a dispersed memorial complex in Cison di Valmarino with memorial plaques commemorating Alpini from the Province of Treviso who fell in the 20th century. Trails through the Bosco lead to steles by Simon Benetton, bearing names, dates of birth and death, the division and the cause of death. The Bosco delle Penne Mozze is associated with 2,448 Alpini who fell in the First World War or in later conflicts.

Trails and regional impressions

The Via dell'Acqua is a three-kilometre trail in the town of Cison di Valmarino. The Via dell'Acqua Breve leads from the Museo Ruraliă to the Mulino Fiorin and returns via Campo Molino as a circular route. The two routes described provide a concrete basis for distinguishing between different trail lengths and circular-route options when planning your excursion.

Local cuisine is also part of the character of the town. Buzholà are traditional Cisonese biscuits made with egg yolk, flour and butter. Spiedo is a local dish of pork, chicken and rabbit, cooked on a spit for at least seven hours. The two specialties represent different culinary experiences: on the one hand, a traditional pastry; on the other, an elaborately prepared dish.

The historic Strada dei 100 giorni was built by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1918 and features five hairpin bends through tunnels. The area around Cison di Valmarino belongs to the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG wine region; in the region's wineries, you can taste and purchase the wine. Cison di Valmarino also offers trails and routes for Nordic walking, cycling and horseback riding.
