Auronzo di Cadore, the Ansiei valley and the Three Peaks

Auronzo di Cadore stretches along the Ansiei valley in the Cadore area, beside Lake Santa Caterina, and its territory reaches up to Misurina and the southern side of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the Three Peaks. The town lies at around 870 metres and runs for kilometres along the valley, with hamlets between the lake and the forest. Most of its territory is woodland and mountain.

Tourism, summer and winter, matters a great deal: alongside the homes of year-round residents there are many second homes and holiday flats. Buyers need to allow for long winters (climate zone F), heating costs, and snow on access roads and roofs. Fuller services and the main hospital are in the larger Cadore towns and towards Belluno, along mountain roads.

The population is falling: 3,047 residents in 2023, 11.8% fewer than in 2011. The mean age is 50.1 against 48.6 for the province, over-65s are 30.1% and foreign residents 3.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the Belluno average.

The province of Belluno spans three seismic zones; Auronzo is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 25 other municipalities, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.102 g. In timber and masonry houses, the roof, snow loads and insulation matter most. In an Alpine valley, streams and slopes also need considering: the report checks the official landslide and flood maps for the address, and the Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published.
