On July 18 at 5:00 p.m. Malga Campon in Fonzaso hosts the first stage of Dolomiti Arena – Slow Mountain Music Festival with a free concert by FRANCESCA MICHIELIN.

It’s the perfect opportunity to discover a surprisingly close, spacious, and welcoming mountain: Monte Avena. Ideal for those looking for a day outdoors without difficulties, but with panoramas that suddenly open up and leave a lasting impression. 

It is one of those places that lend themselves to being experienced naturally: it can be easily reached and immediately transforms into a privileged observation point over Valbelluna and the Dolomiti Bellunesi. Just a few steps are needed to encounter open views, panoramic benches, and perfect spots for a break, perhaps enjoying local products in the shelters or establishments in the area.
