Cibiana di Cadore
A spectacular trip out of town starting from Pieve di Cadore is the tiny municipality of Cibiana di Cadore located on the slopes of Mount Rite, and the only connecting route between the Boite Valley and the Zoldo Valley.
Cibiana hosts, on the walls of its typical stone and wood houses, beautiful murals, a treasure hunt that is fun for both children and adults in the discovery of the roots of a mountain village. A village that has always been linked to the world of iron and keys. For centuries, Cibiana has been the capital of keys, a tradition that is still carried on today by the Errebi company, one of the most. Important industries for the production of keys on a global level. At Cibiana di Sotto, the Museum of Keys and Iron will let you discover and retrace the history of key production.
In the center of the town there is a delightful shop, Le Riede, that sells products, strictly organic, which the local farm led by the very friendly Mrs. Luciana produces in plots that are not far away and can be reached on foot. La vetrina del negozio e il negozio stesso hanno mantenuto l'autenticità di una volta e i prodotti venduti sono eccezionali.
Ronald Messner has chosen Cibiana di Cadore and its Monte Rite to establish his “Museum in the Clouds,” from whose summit one can enjoy a 360-degree spectacle of the marvelous Dolomites: Monte Schiara, Monte Agner, Monte Civetta, Monte Pelmo, Tofane di Rozzes, Sorapis, Antelao, Marmolada, and Mermarole. The museum narrates the process of the conquest of the Dolomites with testimonies from scientists and mountaineers who have written the history of mountaineering. At the heart of the museum, there is a collection of paintings of the Dolomites from the Roman period to today. The museum can be reached on foot or by using the shuttle that departs from Cima Cibiana.
