Autumn, with its warm and intense colors, is one of the most fascinating seasons to explore nature.
The days get shorter, temperatures become cooler, and nature transforms into a palette of golden, orange, and red hues that enchant anyone who observes them. For guests at Move Hotels, located in the heart of one of the most beautiful regions in Italy, foliage is an unmissable spectacle. Within an hour and a half from the hotel, there are numerous places to stroll among ancient trees, natural parks, and hills to experience the charm of this season.
Let’s discover the foliage and its thousand shades!
Just 30 minutes from the hotel, the Regional Park of the Sile is one of the most suggestive destinations for those who love foliage. This park follows the course of the Sile River, one of the longest spring rivers in Europe, and extends for kilometers of unspoiled nature. During autumn, the riverbanks transform into a living painting, with waters reflecting the bright colors of the surrounding trees.
Here, you can walk along the numerous paths that line the river, stopping perhaps at one of the picturesque restored mills to enjoy the view. The mix of water, sky, and trees creates a fairytale-like atmosphere. We recommend taking a break at the Cervara Oasis, a small nature reserve where silence and the beauty of nature are the main protagonists.
About an hour’s drive from the hotel, Montello offers a perfect combination of history and breathtaking landscapes, ideal for those who wish to immerse themselves in the autumn foliage. This hill, located between the Piave River and the Prealps, is rich in forests that ignite with warm and enveloping colors in the fall, perfect for long walks in the open air.
Montello is also known for being a historically rich place, with numerous monuments and testimonies from World War I. The contrast between the golden woods and the historic monuments makes this location a unique option for those seeking not only natural beauty but also a dive into the region’s history.
For an authentic experience, you can stop at one of the local taverns scattered throughout the area and taste the typical products of Montello, such as porcini mushrooms and honey, in harmony with the flavors of autumn.
Just over an hour from MOVE Hotels, the Euganean Hills are another must-visit destination for those wishing to enjoy the autumn foliage. These gently rising hills in the Veneto region are covered in lush forests that, during autumn, are painted in a thousand warm shades.
The Euganean Hills offer numerous trails for trekking and mountain biking, as well as quieter walks for those who prefer to admire the beauty of the vineyards and castles scattered throughout the landscape. Among these, the path leading to the summit of Monte Venda is one of the most suggestive: the panoramic view of the surrounding hills, enveloped in autumn colors, is breathtaking.
For those seeking a more relaxing experience, it is possible to visit one of the many medieval villages, such as Arquà Petrarca, and stop at one of the local wineries for a tasting of regional wines, including the famous Moscato Fior d’Arancio, perfect for pairing with seasonal flavors.
About an hour and a quarter from MOVE Hotels, the Cansiglio Forest is one of the oldest and most majestic forests in Veneto. Situated between the provinces of Treviso and Belluno, it is the ideal place for those seeking a total immersion in nature and wishing to admire spectacular foliage.
During autumn, this vast plateau transforms into a symphony of colors: the deep green of the conifers mixes with the warm tones of the beeches, which display golden, orange, and red leaves. The contrast between these shades creates an enchanting landscape, perfect for long walks along trails that delve into the heart of the forest.
The Cansiglio Forest is also known for its history and biodiversity. Once a timber reserve for the Arsenal of Venice, today it is a natural paradise, rich in wildlife. Here, it is possible to spot deer and roe deer while walking among the trees. One of the most recommended paths is the Alpine Path, which offers spectacular viewpoints over the forest below and the Prealps.
Not just wild nature: Cansiglio also hosts numerous refuges where you can stop to savor traditional local dishes, such as polenta and mountain cheese, to conclude a day dedicated to foliage.
For those who prefer a more refined experience without straying too far from the hotel, about 40 minutes by car is Villa Pisani, one of the most famous Venetian villas, located in Stra. This villa, which once hosted nobles and dignitaries, is surrounded by a magnificent historic garden that becomes even more enchanting in autumn.
The geometries of the tree-lined avenues, combined with the warm autumn colors, create a contrast of rare beauty. Strolling through the villa’s gardens is like taking a journey through time, surrounded by ancient trees that turn golden and red. Don’t forget to visit the famous hedge maze, one of the largest and oldest in Europe, for an experience that combines elegance and mystery.
Autumn around MOVE Hotels offers a variety of unique landscapes, from the gentle hills of the Euganean Hills to the majestic historic villas, passing through river parks and charming forests. Each place has its charm and offers a different experience, but they all share the beauty of autumn colors that make this time of year magical.
Whether you decide to immerse yourself in a hike through wooded trails or let yourself be lulled by the slow pace of an autumn stroll, the foliage, with its changing colors, will enchant you and give you unforgettable moments just a stone’s throw from the hotel. So, grab your camera, put on some comfy shoes, and let yourself be surprised by the wonderful autumn landscapes of Veneto.
