It can be reached from two sides: either at the entrance to Val Canzoi (556 m, on the orographic right). in the Municipality of Cesiomaggiore (Belluno), along the road that goes up to the town with tight hairpin bends starting from the junction on the left (for those coming from the south) between the Serra bridge and the Ave. or from the hamlet of Arsèn (Feltre) following the asphalted road .
The inhabited center rises on a hillock (glacial terrace), on the orographic right of the Caorame stream, in Val Canzoi.
The village, in a dominant position on the mouth of the valley, is inserted in a landscape of relief which is the background of the imposing southern walls of Sass de Mura.
The village of Montagne is particularly intact in its original configuration, with valuable examples of traditional rural buildings (buildings with a Feltre type gallery) of high historical and environmental interest. The buildings are arranged "perched" on a hill to create a compact and articulated core, in which the distance between the buildings is such as not to compromise the conditions of good sunshine, and are connected to each other by a system of paths and small terraces cultivated supported by dry stone walls. The buildings, rigorously exposed to the south to benefit from the greater insolation, have a masonry front "closed" upstream and "open" towards the valley where they have the characteristic wooden balcony born with the dual function of distribution element (vertical and horizontal to the various rooms of the house) and space for drying agricultural products (cereals, nuts, legumes,).
In the first post-war period the town was inhabited by numerous families and had a population of over 100 inhabitants whose main form of subsistence was in the charcoal market (obtained from wood); now only about ten people permanently reside there. Some houses have been recovered in recent times.
