Geography
The river Meschio passes down through the town from Serravalle through the district which bears its name. The north of Vittorio Veneto is straddled by mountains including the majestic Mt. Pizzoc. To the east is the state park and forest of Cansiglio; to the west, the hill country including Valdobbiadene where prosecco is made; and to the south is the commercial town of Conegliano.
