In-depth guide · CampingSpirit
Around 380 km from Treviso through the UNESCO wine hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene to Feltre and Belluno, up into the Dolomiti Bellunesi as far as Alleghe, to Lake Santa Croce in the Alpago and back over the Fadalto – hills, the Piave valley and rock walls in seven relaxed stages.
The spirit of the route
Here two landscapes lie side by side that could hardly be more different. In the south, the steep, narrow vine rows of the Prosecco hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with villages on the ridges and osterie where the wine still comes in big glasses. In the north the land rises towards the Piave valley and the Dolomiti Bellunesi, with castles, Renaissance towns such as Feltre and Belluno, and rock walls that turn pink in the evening light. From your sliding door you see vine slopes in mist in the morning, later the peaks of the Civetta above Lake Alleghe. The Piave valley links the two: water, woods and bridges. The roads are small, the stages short, the cellar visits long. If you travel in September, you experience the harvest among tractors and grape wagons.
Stage-by-stage plan
1Stage 1: Treviso to Conegliano (approx. 30 km)
- The drive
- From Treviso on the SS13 Pontebbana north via Spresiano and Susegana to Conegliano, or in parallel on the A27. The SS13 is wide, but full of lorry traffic and roundabouts. Around 40 minutes.

-
Official campsite or RV park: In and around Conegliano there are pitches (check location and facilities in advance). Check the current status and facilities in the apps in advance, especially at the harvest in September.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): Around Treviso and Conegliano, motorhome overnighting on car parks is hardly tolerated; municipalities carry out checks. Wine estates sometimes offer pitches if you buy wine – ask beforehand.
- Insider tip for campers
- Treviso has a large ZTL and narrow lanes inside the walls; park motorhomes outside. The cycle path of the Strada del Prosecco begins in Conegliano. If you want to visit Prosecco cellars, book early.
2Stage 2: Conegliano to Valdobbiadene (approx. 45 km)
- The drive
- On the Strada del Prosecco, a network of provincial roads, through the hills via San Pietro di Feletto, Refrontolo, Pieve di Soligo, Farra di Soligo and Santo Stefano to Valdobbiadene. The roads are narrow and winding, with many climbs; motorhomes over 7 m must in places switch to larger roads. Around 1.5 hours.

- CampingSpirit overnight tip
-
Official campsite or RV park: Pitches in individual villages of the Prosecco hills; facilities vary. In Valdobbiadene itself places are limited; pitches at wine estates are often the best choice. Check status and fees in advance.
Free camping or nature tip (where legal): Wild overnighting in the Prosecco hills is not permitted: the UNESCO landscape is protected, and farm tracks are private land. Checks take place.
- Insider tip for campers
- The roads are meant for bicycles and hikers; drive slowly and keep your distance. At the harvest in early September, vineyards and roads are full of tractors. Try Prosecco Superiore DOCG in small cantine; rule out driving after tasting.
3Stage 3: Valdobbiadene to Feltre (approx. 45 km)

Free camping or nature tip (where legal): In Feltre car parks around the old town charge fees; overnighting is not permitted. The municipality carries out checks. Make sure you have a proper pitch.
- Insider tip for campers
- Feltre has a ZTL inside the walls; you reach the Porta Imperiale and the old town on foot from a car park on the edge of the old town. In August the Palio di Feltre takes place with a medieval procession; then everything is full.

- Insider tip for campers
- The road from Rocca Pietore to the Passo Fedaia is steep and closed in winter. Fill up beforehand in Agordo. Hikes to the Rifugio Coldai from Alleghe are long; watch the weather.

Free camping or nature tip (where legal): At the lake, car parks with motorhome bans and time limits are common; in the Alpago the municipalities’ regulations apply. Plan to spend the night on a site.
- Insider tip for campers
- In the afternoon a strong wind often blows, which attracts surfers; motorhomes with roof-mounted equipment should park sheltered from the wind. The water is warm in summer, cold in spring. Shop in Ponte nelle Alpi before the Alpago.
7Stage 7: Farra d’Alpago to Treviso (approx. 90 km)

Camping practice & local rules
Wild camping & overnight parking
- Italian law (Codice della Strada, Art. 185) distinguishes parking from camping: a motorhome may stand and be slept in wherever parking is allowed, as long as it touches the ground only with its wheels. Chairs, tables, awnings, levelling supports and drained grey water are prohibited.
- In the Veneto municipalities regulate the parking of motorhomes themselves; in the Prosecco hills (UNESCO wine-growing area) and in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park bans are common. Fines in the three-figure range are possible.
- In the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park camping, tents and free overnighting are prohibited; car parks are managed with fees. The Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and municipalities check frequently.
- Useful apps: park4night, Campercontact and CamperOnline.
Waste disposal & supplies
- Fresh water and waste disposal are called “camper service” or “carico e scarico”. Available at the area di sosta and campsites; in the Piave valley there are several stations.
- Empty grey water and the toilet cassette only at disposal stations.
- Tap water is mostly drinkable; look out for “acqua potabile”.
- Gas: German exchange cylinders are not exchanged in Italy. Refillable cylinders and gas tanks are filled at GPL filling stations with an Italian adapter; Treviso, Conegliano and Belluno have several.
Vehicle size & traffic rules
- Speed limits: motorhomes up to 3.5 t 90 km/h outside built-up areas, 110 km/h on expressways, 130 km/h on the motorway; over 3.5 t 80 km/h outside built-up areas and 100 km/h on the motorway. Vehicles towing a caravan: 70 km/h outside built-up areas, 80 km/h on the motorway. Dipped headlights are required outside built-up areas even during the day.
- ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) with camera monitoring exist in Treviso, Conegliano, Feltre and Belluno; fines arrive by post. Veneto: from 1 October to 30 April, depending on air quality (warning levels), restrictions for older diesels apply in larger cities; the Euro 5 ban has been postponed to October 2027. Check the current status.
- Tolls: the A27 Venezia–Belluno is a toll road; the country roads of the route are free. Payment is made at the toll booth in cash or by card.
- Winter equipment: from 15 November to 15 April, winter tyres or snow chains are compulsory on mountain routes such as in the Agordino and at the Fadalto; observe the signs.
- If a load protrudes beyond the rear, for example bicycles on a rear rack, the red-and-white warning panel (50 × 50 cm) is compulsory. Alcohol limit 0.5, for new drivers and professional drivers 0.0 – at tastings, abstain entirely; mobile phone at the wheel only with a hands-free kit.
CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist
- Light hiking shoes for the Prosecco hills, the trails in the national park and the paths around Alleghe.
- Bicycles or e-bikes for the Strada del Prosecco: the hills are steep, the traffic is light.
- Cool box for Prosecco, cheese and cured meats from the Alpago.
- Levelling ramps, level 2–3, for sloping pitches on the hillside.
- Rain jacket and fleece: in the Dolomites the weather changes quickly, even in summer.
- Red-and-white warning panel to the Italian standard for rear racks or protruding boxes.
As of 2026-09. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go.
