Unfortunately, you have to use your car to reach this place, as there is no public transport to get there. However, it is worth it because it is a truly unique and beautiful place.

Cison is an ideal place for excursions and walks in the beauty of the Marca Trevigiana, one of the least damaged areas in Veneto. It offers visitors various possibilities for exploring the area on foot, by bicycle, on horseback or, for those who prefer, by car. Mountain lovers can reach the Rifugio dei Loff, which can accommodate up to 10 people.

The parish church of Cison di Valmarino is a very old church, as evidenced by a document from 1170 stating that it was already a parish at that time. The present church was started in 1683 and completed around 1740, to be consecrated on 31 May 1746 by Bishop Lorenzo Da Ponte. Inside the church, with a single nave, statues by Marco Casagrande can be admired, and at the high altar, two angels by Antonio Bianchi. By Egidio Dall'Oglio, a local painter, there is an Assumption (copied from an altarpiece by Piazzetta now in the Louvre) and a Birth and Death of the Baptist. A unique feature of the church is that it has two façades, one facing west (the older) and adorned with the three statues of the theological virtues by Marco Casagrande (Faith, Hope and Charity), and the other facing east with the statue of St John surrounded by the cardinal virtues arranged in pairs. There is probably an allegorical meaning in this, referring to the political virtues of those exercising civil power, since it faces the loggia, the seat of administrative and judicial power.
