Lizzano in Belvedere is situated on the border with the provinces of Modena and Pistoia, at the extreme edge of the Bolognese Apennines. On its territory stands the high peak, Corno alle Scale (1945 mt), a famous ski resort.


Why visit it

Inserted within the Corno alle Scale Regional Park, the resort is a small mountain oasis, able to perfectly combine environment and traditions with the needs of modern tourism.

Mountain biking through the valleys, on foot, or spending a few hours in the peace of a lodge are the opportunities that these places offer, to regain the balance of body and mind.
