Oltris means “beyond”, i.e. on the other side of the Lumiei river. This is the etymology of the village perched above Ampezzo, whose name appears for the first time in a 1260 document entitled “In Carnea in villa que dicitur Oltras”. In contrast, the church of the Santissima Trinità dates back to 1766, erected on an older votive church. Inside, you can admire an ebony and mother-of-pearl cross from the 18th century and a Madonna and Child from the early 1800s, the work of Francesco from Manzano. The village also preserves the characteristic shape of the medieval village with an elegant fountain at the centre of the little square.
