An atmosphere of familiarity that smells like the scent of mountain resins, fresh milk and welcoming smiles.  After spending a wonderful day hiking on Monte Rite and visiting the Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites Museum , we want to know more about the art and history of this tiny mountain village, Cibiana di Cadore.
