Danta di Cadore, the Comelico plateau and its peat bogs

Danta di Cadore sits on a sunny plateau at about 1,400 metres in the Comelico, the north-eastern corner of the province of Belluno. Around the village are meadows, fir woods and the Danta peat bogs, wetlands protected for their plant life. This is proper mountain country, in climate zone F, where winter is long and snow is part of daily life.

Homes are mostly village houses in masonry and timber, sometimes split between several owners through inheritance. Buyers should ask exactly which shares are being sold, and check the roof, insulation, heating system and access in the snowy months. For secondary schools, hospitals and offices, people drive down to the larger towns of the Cadore and to Belluno.

In 2023 there were 432 residents, down 16.0% from 514 in 2011. The estimated average age is 49.6 (provincial figure 48.6) and over-65s make up 31.0%. Foreign residents are few, at 2.3%. Declared incomes are below the average for the Belluno area.

Danta is in seismic zone 3 of the national classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, like 25 other municipalities in the province of Belluno, while other parts of the province have a higher classification. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.107 g. For an older house, ask when it was built and whether the roof has been redone with ties into the walls.

The land registry is published: the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) makes the maps available here too, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. Avalanches, landslides and torrents are checked on the official maps for the exact spot.
