Carezza - Nova Levante: Hotels, B&B, Residence and holiday apartments

Nova Levante (ger. Welschnofen, 1.182m) and Carezza (ger. Karersee, 1.600m) are two touristic mountain-villages of the Val d'Ega (Ega valley), in the heart of the Dolomites. Carezza is very well known for its lake, situated in the middle of forests at the foot of the famous massif Latemar, while at Nova Levante you will find the highest European wooded plateau (1.756m), called Montalto di Nova. The ski area “Carezza Ski” offers its guests about 40 km of pistes and 16 lifts, is known as a very sunny region and offers breathtaking views of the mountains Catinaccio (ger. Rosengarten) and Latemar. Among the many slopes there is also a snow park that will satisfy even the most demanding snow fans. It is, in a few words, a real paradise for ski, snowboard and toboggan lovers. In the lake of Carezza you will find in winter divers conducting underwater shots under ice and registering documentary records. In summer this region pays much attention to the traditions that can be found in form of ancient professions, crafts and art in the mountain pastures and huts between the Nigerpaß and Carezza. The tourists fond of excursions can explore the mountains between Rosengarten and Latemar while enjoying the beautiful panorama. Cycling enthusiasts will find wonderful mountain bike trails. Even in summer it is worth visiting the lake of Carezza, which gives the impression of a magical place and is therefore called "the magical lake of the Dolomites". Those who do not want to miss cultural tours can visit the church of Nova Levante which is first mentioned in historical documents dating back to 1298. The patron of the church is St. Ingenuino. The present church is a modern building, built in 1967 and has a low pitched roof and a side aisle. The original church was restored in the first half of the 18th Century and in the years 1827 to 1828 a new church was realized, which was then dismantled in 1965 and replaced by the new structure. The church has a 37 meter high tower and is the oldest architectural structure of the place.… continue
