At the foot of Monte Coppolo lies a village in the Dolomiti Bellunesi where more and more people are choosing to live
Among the lesser-known villages of the Dolomiti Bellunesi, Lamon is experiencing a quiet yet tangible transformation. It is not driven by big numbers or media hype, but by life choices: families, couples, and individuals deciding to leave the city behind and move here, drawn by a more authentic, sustainable, and human way of living.
In recent years, Lamon has increasingly become a place of arrival—not only for people from nearby Trentino, but also from abroad.
Living in Lamon: when a home becomes a life project
One of the key factors behind this renewed interest is undoubtedly the real estate market, which in Lamon still retains characteristics that are becoming increasingly rare in Dolomite areas: affordable prices and genuine purchasing opportunities.
This trend is also confirmed by everyday work on the ground.
“In recent months we have seen a concrete and steady interest in Lamon, not only from local residents but also from abroad and from nearby Trentino,” explains Mariuccia Resenterra, Real Estate Agent at RE/MAX Casamia, who recently chose to open the first real estate agency with a permanent office in the village, precisely to respond to this growing demand and to promote properties thanks to the global visibility of the RE/MAX Group.
“We have recently completed the sale of a home to a family from the United States and to several couples from Trentino, all attracted by one very clear factor: housing prices in Lamon are still absolutely affordable compared to other Dolomite locations. This allows many people to turn the dream of living in the mountains into a concrete choice.”
“Opening an office in Lamon was a natural step: the village is changing, and more and more people are choosing it not just as a place to spend time, but as a place to build a new everyday life.”
The hamlets: small mountain corners where history and nature can be felt
The charm of Lamon does not end with the main village. The entire municipal area is dotted with hamlets and small settlements—nearly ten inhabited and historical locations—each with its own identity and landscape to discover.
From Arina, where the crisp Dolomite air is felt as soon as you wake up at dawn, to San Donato, with its natural views inviting you to walk along ancient paths immersed in greenery; from Costa, which preserves corners of unspoiled nature, to Campigotti and Rugna, where a slow pace tells the story of a deep bond between people and the mountains.
In hamlets such as Pezzè, Pian del Vescovo, and Zavena, the echo of rural life blends with the beauty of the landscape, offering breathtaking views over valleys and rocky ridges. Each hamlet is a small world of its own, made up of stories, traditions, and scenery that remain in the hearts of those who visit—or choose to live there.
These places are not just stops along hiking routes: they are everyday living spaces, where the rhythm of life is shaped by climate, nature, and relationships with fellow residents—qualities many families seek when deciding to move here.
Tranquility, nature, and reclaimed time
Those who come to Lamon are looking for something that goes beyond a house. They are looking for time, silence, genuine relationships, and daily contact with nature. The village preserves a human-scale dimension, where the rhythm of the day is still marked by light, seasons, and community life.
Slow tourism—made up of walks, forests, trails, and small daily gestures—is not an artificial attraction, but an integral part of the local identity. Living in Lamon means rediscovering a quality of life that has become increasingly hard to find in many urban areas.
Between Belluno and Trentino: a location that connects two worlds
Another element that makes Lamon particularly attractive is its strategic location. The village lies at a natural meeting point between the Belluno area and Trentino, with the Primiero Valley easily accessible.
For many new residents, especially those coming from Trentino, Lamon represents the opportunity to stay close to their work or family environment while choosing a quieter place with more sustainable housing costs.
In winter, the proximity to the ski slopes of San Martino di Castrozza adds significant value: living in Lamon means enjoying the mountains in every season, without being caught up in mass tourism dynamics.
A village that looks ahead without losing its soul
Lamon is a clear example of how small Dolomite villages can once again become living places, capable of attracting new people without losing their identity. Not a noisy revival, but a growth shaped by conscious choices, new families, and homes whose lights are turning on again in the evening.
At a time when more and more people are questioning where and how they want to live, Lamon responds with simplicity: space, silence, community, and real possibilities.
And perhaps this is its greatest strength.
And you? Come and visit Lamon!
You will discover that it is not just a place to see, but a place to feel: among the silence of the forests, the clean air flowing down from Monte Coppolo, and the simplicity of everyday life, you will understand why more and more people do not just pass through… but choose to stay.
