A long climb that isn't particularly difficult. Quite a bit of traffic.

Main square of Padola, a small and charming hamlet of Comelico Superiore, in the province of Belluno.

Church of Sant'Anna

The small church with Gothic lines stands along the ancient road that connects Cadore with the Monte Croce Comelico Pass. It is located about 1.5 km from the town of Padola. The church was rebuilt with funds from the Rule of Padola between 1693 and 1699 by M. Antonio and G. B. Sacchi. It was blessed on 26 July 1699. The plan has two octagons, one of which serves as an apse, with the sacristy behind it. Gothic is mixed with Renaissance and Baroque. The only altar is made of pine wood, carved and gilded, sumptuous; the altarpiece, with Sant'Anna, Maria Bambina, and, above, the SS. Trinity, executed by Stefano Dorigo Piccolo, son of Antonio, as confirmed by the wording on the back of the altarpiece: 1732 Antonio Dorigo Piccolo gilded the present Palla / 1755 Steffano his son painted the present painting. Other documents attest to payments to Steffano for the Pittura nova of S.Anna in 1766.

The Sant'Antonio pass is an Alpine pass located at 1,476 m above sea level. on the provincial road 532, which connects Padola with Auronzo di Cadore, then Comelico with the center of Cadore. The same pass can be reached from Danta di Cadore.
