Tambre, upland Alpago towards the Cansiglio forest

Tambre lies in the Alpago, the basin south-east of Belluno ringed by mountains and opening towards Lake Santa Croce. The village lies above nine hundred metres, on the road up to the Cansiglio forest, one of the great beech forests of the Veneto, with meadows, cross-country ski trails and footpaths. It has also been a holiday resort for decades, and many holiday homes stand alongside those of residents.

Belluno and the Piave valley are reached by car by dropping down towards the lake; for the Treviso plain you go over the Fadalto pass. The climate zone is F: long winters, snow and heating bills that add up. For a buyer, insulation, the type of heating system, the roof and winter access all matter.

In 2023 there were 1,279 residents, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 10.2% from 1,425 in 2011. The average age is 50.7, against 48.6 in the province of Belluno, and over-65s are 30.3%, against 28.1%. Foreign residents are 2.6%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes deserve attention. Tambre is in seismic zone 1, the highest class, which in this province applies to only 7 municipalities, and the expected ground acceleration in the village is 0.252 g. Before buying, ask about the year of construction, the structure and any documented strengthening work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the municipality, so the report reaches the land parcel. In the mountains, slope and landslide hazard change from plot to plot, and the report reads them on the official maps for each address.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection.
