Alleghe (Ladin: Àlie) is a village and comune in the province of Belluno in the Italian region of Veneto.
To the west Alleghe borders with Lake Alleghe, which was formed in 1771 by a landslide from the adjacent Mont Piz.
Name
[edit | edit source]Purists of the Italian language would derive the name Alleghe from the Latin alica or alicarius, meaning "granary", but as no grain is grown in this Alpine village, it is most likely that Alleghe is a contraction of the Ladin a l'agua, in reference the deep mountain valley that marked the western boundary of the village prior to the landslide of 1771. A community existed as far back as the 12th century CE.[1]
Tourism

Monte Civetta (ladin: Zuita), Alleghe's tallest peak, is a noted climbing spot, rising to a height of 3,220 metres (10,560 ft). In addition, the lake in Alleghe is a popular destination for ice skaters and ice hockey players in the winter.[1] Landmarks also include I misteri di Alleghe, Lago di Alleghe and Stazione meteorologica di Caprile.
