Embark on a truly unique journey where history and nature come together along the iconic Piave River, the main river of the Dolomites and once the route of timber rafts bound for Venice.
The experience begins with a guided visit to the Cidolo Museum, where you’ll uncover the ingenious system used to control and transport timber from the mountains. From there, enjoy a peaceful walk through the elegant Giardino della Regina Margherita, a historic royal retreat surrounded by nature.
The pace then shifts as the adventure comes to life on the water. Equipped with professional rafting gear and led by an expert guide, you will navigate the river for approximately two hours, moving through dynamic currents and wild landscapes while retracing the path of ancient timber rafts.
More than just an activity, this is a living story—where heritage, nature, and adrenaline merge into an unforgettable experience.
Step inside the Cidolo Museum and discover the raw, authentic life of the woodcutters. Here, logs were stopped, gathered, and transformed into rafts ready to face the current direction Venice where the logs have been used for the construction of the city. 2. Between History and Alpine Breath Walk through the Parco Lazzaris and reach the Garden of Queen Margherita. A slower moment before returning to the action, surrounded by nature, silence, and traces of history. 3. The Piave Adventure Now it’s time to enter the water. With your rafting guide, descend along the main river of the Dolomites, river Piave, following the same route as the ancient timber rafts.
