Discovering Passo del Zovo
Passo Sant’Antonio, also known locally as Passo del Zovo, is a scenic mountain pass located at 1,476 meters in the heart of the Dolomiti Bellunesi. Connecting Padola with Auronzo di Cadore, it serves as a natural gateway between the Comelico and Centro Cadore regions, offering breathtaking views and an authentic alpine experience.

The surroundings are rich in cultural heritage, with traditional mountain villages, historic malghe, and remnants of rural life that reflect the deep connection between the land and its people. Easily accessible from nearby towns like Danta di Cadore and San Nicolò di Comelico, the pass is also a great starting point for thematic itineraries focused on nature, history, and local cuisine.
Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or a slow-paced escape, Passo Sant’Antonio offers a genuine experience in the Dolomites, where every path tells a story and every view inspires wonder.
