On Wednesday, May 20, the Auditorium ex chiesa di San Pietro di Borgo Valbelluna will host the presentation of the book "Rediscovering the Belluno Prealps", by Giovanni Carraro.
With this volume, Giovanni Carraro completes the long journey of exploration of the Eastern Venetian Prealps, which began in 2011 with Rediscovering the Treviso Prealps, bringing his story to the Valbelluna.
A journey of 543 kilometers on foot through seven areas that narrate the variety and beauty of the Belluno Prealps: from the Coi de Pèra of Ponte nelle Alpi to the Nevegal – Col Visentin area, from Limana to Trichiana, from Mel to Lentiai, up to the Canal del Piave.
50 itineraries, some of which are unpublished, that touch on ancient stone quarries, alpine dairies and cottages, small churches, waterfalls, gorges, and old hamlets, with views that range from the Dolomites to the plain. Each route is accompanied by Tabacco maps, a technical table, a QR Code for the starting point, and downloadable GPS tracks from the Ediciclo website. Numerous cultural boxes and reports enrich the narrative with insights into history, legends, and local curiosities, offering the walker an authentic way to know and understand this part of the mountains.
The author, Giovanni Carraro, was born in Pieve di Cadore in 1966 and lives in Susegana (Treviso). A hiker, writer, and communicator, he is the creator of the Prosecco Hills Path of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.

He collaborates with Telebelluno and Il Gazzettino, is a freelance journalist, CAI member, and F.I.E. Hiking Guide.
