Monte Civetta (3,220 m) is a prominent and major mountain of the Dolomites, in the Province of Belluno in northern Italy. Its north-west face can be viewed from the Taibon Agordino valley, and is classed as one of the symbols of the Dolomites.The mountain is thought to have been first climbed by Simeone di Silvestro in 1855, which, if true, makes it the first major Dolomite peak to be climbed. The north-western face, with its 1,000-metre-high cliff, was first climbed in 1925 by Emil Solleder and Gustl Lettenbauer. It is historically considered the first "sixth grade" in six-tier scale of alpinistic difficulties proposed by Willo Welzenbach (corresponding to 5.9). Thirty years later UIAA used this as a basis for its grading system. The famed Svan mountain climber Mikhail Khergiani died in a climbing accident on Monte Civetta in 1969.

The Bellunes Alps (German: Belluneser Alpen, Italian: Prealpi Bellunesi) is the now obsolete name of a mountain range on the southern edge of the Eastern Alps. They lie in the Italian regions of Venetia and Trentino-South Tyrol. They cover the provinces of Treviso, Pordenone and part of Vicenza. The name is derived from the town of Belluno. Their highest peak is Col Nudo at 2,472 m s.l.m.. They are part of the Southern Limestone Alps, and are mainly made of the chalk limestone of the Southern Alps with summit region made of main dolomite. The Bellunes Alps used to be an independent group in the Alpine Club Classification of the Eastern Alps (AVE) and had the number 55. In 1984 they were divided; the northern part being assigned to the Dolomites, and the southern part to the Southern Carnic Alps – the latter also appeared as the Bellunes Prealps (Belluneser Voralpen) in the Partizione delle Alpi where it formed Group 55d of the Venetian Alps (55). The northern part is also called the Bellunes Dolomites or Schiara Group, after its highest peak, Monte Schiara (2,565 m s.l.m.). In 1990, the northern, dolomitic part was declare a national park: the Bellunes Dolomites National Park.

The Lake Vedana is a small body of water of glacial origin located in the municipal territory of Sospirolo, in the Province of Belluno, Italy. Situated just south of the Monti del Sole range, and a few kilometers east of the larger Lake Mis, it has no inflows or outflows, forming an endorheic basin. The lake lies in an area of great naturalistic interest, at the gateway to the Belluno Dolomites National Park; it occupies a small depression caused by an ancient bed of the Cordevole river, within an area called Masiere, a wide expanse of large boulders and debris now largely covered by pioneer vegetation. Lake Vedana and the peaty meadows of “Le Torbe” constitute “wetland oases”; the lake is fed by underground water veins, along the direction of an ancient abandoned valley of the Cordevole stream. The “Le Torbe” meadows likely represent the final evolutionary stage of a marsh (or lake-marsh) environment settled in a marginal depression, surrounded by coarse glacial deposits and characterized by slow and difficult drainage, with a substrate of silty-sandy soils. Near San Gottardo, the Certosa di Vedana, an ancient Carthusian monastery, is located. The importance of this lake was noted by Caldart (1962), a Belluno naturalist, and later included among the biotopes worthy of special conservation in a historic volume published by the Società botanica italiana as part of a census conducted by the University of Camerino in 1979.
