Livinallongo del Col di Lana, Arabba and the Ladin valley of Fodom
In Ladin it is called Fodom: the upper Cordevole valley, enclosed by the Pordoi, Campolongo and Falzarego passes in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites. The municipality includes Arabba, one of the resorts on the Sella ski circuit, and Pieve, where the town hall stands, plus many hamlets scattered across the slopes. Above the valley rises the Col di Lana, a battlefield in the First World War.
The local economy depends on winter and summer tourism, and the property market reflects it: flats and holiday homes near the lifts, family houses in the hamlets, old haylofts. This is life at altitude, with long, snowy winters (climate zone F). Insulation, heating and winter access should be checked before anything else.
In 2023 there were 1,234 residents, down 10.8% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is slightly younger than the province of Belluno: average age 47.1 against 48.6, over-65s at 25.0% against 28.1%. Foreign nationals make up 3.1%.
The municipality is in seismic zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.074 g. In the mountains, avalanches, landslides and torrents weigh more, and the report checks them on the official maps for the address.
One important detail: until 1918 Livinallongo was part of Austrian Tyrol, and it has kept the land book system (catasto tavolare). Ownership is checked at the land book office; the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are still published, and the report uses them to reach the land parcel.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
