Description

I spent about an hour in this tiny hamlet, Villaggio do Coi, in the Dolomites not counting the stops along the way. This photo was taken in the morning in July when the wildflowers were at their prime showcasing nearby Monte Civetta. The roads are steep, narrow and hair raising, the home quaint and charming.

Coi is a tiny village consisting mainly of rustic buildings; one of the frescoes on its exterior dates back to 1713. Along the road from Coi to Maresòn the two Rizzardini mills, existing prior to 1634, were still working in 1946. The Piva mill is also interesting with its large wooden wheel and was active from 1948 until the 70s.

Brusadaz has the old Costa mill, perhaps amongst those mentioned in a document of 1693. Outside the village are the remains of the San Pellegrino mine and especially the old Da Dòf mine whose entrance is still visible.

The views are stunning, but parking is only for the faint of heart. Backing up is part of the picture by steep drop-offs. You better hope someone isn't coming from the other direction.

This area near the sites of the 2026 games near Cortina in winter!
