Arsiè, Lake Corlo and the western Feltre area

Arsiè covers the far western end of the Feltre area, in the province of Belluno, a mountain territory cut through by the Cismon. Lake Corlo, a reservoir created by the dam on the river, is the first thing you notice, with hamlets scattered over the slopes around it. Feltre is the local centre for hospital care and schools, while the Valsugana and the road towards Bassano and Trento are close.

It is an older, shrinking village. Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 2,164 residents in 2023, down 12.2% from 2,465 in 2011. The average age is 52.1, higher than 48.6 for the province, and 34.8% are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 5.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

On the market there are stone houses in the hamlets, often needing work, and newer homes in the main village. Climate zone F means insulation and heating need attention, and in the higher hamlets so does the road in winter. Overture Maps data show 4 schools, 1 pharmacy and 17 bars and restaurants, some catering for lake visitors.

Arsiè is in seismic zone 2, like 27 municipalities in the province of Belluno, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.168 g. With an old masonry house, ask what work has been done on the roof and walls. On the slopes the report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the address and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency cadastral maps.
