Alleghe
Alleghe is a village in the Belluno district. It is situated in the Agordo valley, south of the Marmolada, and behind you can see Civetta, on the back the Zoldo valley. Along the valley flows the Cordevole stream, that from the Pordoi Pass and merges into the Piave river after a route of about 50 kilometers. What defines this village is it’s lake.
The centre of the village changed in the year 1771, because of a landslide from Monte Spiz which covered up a large part of the village. The amass of rubble made as a barrier to the Cordevole stream which was forged in more than two hundred years ago, the Alleghe lake as we see it today.
It’s worth a visit to the church, rebuilded after the disaster to replace a much more antique one. Inside there are frescoes of Valentino Rovisi, who was a pupil of Tiepolo. In the nearby building, centre of the city hall, you can admire an awesome arras; an opera of a painter of the nine hundred.
On the riversides, other than the walks, during the winter you can go scating. Alleghe is a community with lot’s of fractions, the most known is Caprile.
