Monte Cesen, Valdobbiadene
Veneto
From the Prosecco vineyards around Valdobbiadene a road and then paths climb to the pastured back of Monte Cesen (1,570 m), a favourite of paragliders and dairy farmers. The ridge walk past the malghe gives the Venetian plain and lagoon on one side and the Piave valley and the Dolomites on the other.
