The history of Bibione is very ancient, but reconstruct it is very difficult. To this day came little evidence of ancient times, but we know that the Romans in the first centuries AD occupied this area with land drainages and the construction of roads.
With the rise of Christianity, the entire area of Bibione, which was and island, goes under the Diocese of Concordia Sagittaria and then in later centuries under the Serenissima.
This domination marks the dark years of Bibione, because the Republic of Venice was not interested in these territories, which go back to being populated by wildlife.
As many territories in surroundings, even Bibione goes under the Empire of Napoleon before and of the Hapsburg after, until the Kingdom of Italy in 1866. It will be the Kingdom of Italy to take up the drainages started centuries before by the Romans, but certainly not to make it a seaside resort, but to make the area more healthy and start a settlement.
From the '50s to the present day
During the drainages of the region, it finds a beautiful golden sand, which reveals its full potential from the '50s with the rise of the mass tourism.
Some young entrepreneurs glimpse the great opportunity offered by the desire of people to travel all over Europe and begin to buy lands to build accommodation facilities and services. From that moment the whole peninsula of Bibione becomes a building site in the open air: hotel, villas in the pinewood, campsites and villages, a good road network and all the useful services for the first tourists.
Initially, the flow of tourists was limited to a few local customers and foreign tourists, mostly from Austria and Germany, attracted by the beauty of the area and the low prices. Even the early campsites and villages, built with functionally criteria of great value, help to increase the interest for the seaside resort.
With the tumultuous rise of the mass tourism in '60s and '70s Bibione changes rapidly into a leading tourist city in Europe.
Foresight and imagination led the tourist industry to plough back a substantial part of their income into further investments, so that guests were treated to an ever-wider range of facilities, culminating in the "Bibione Thermae", an impressive spa complex.
This development continues today and makes the beach of Bibione increasingly open to foreign markets, being able to satisfy a large range of demands and wishes, from the beach holiday, to the green holiday, through sport, leisure and wellness.
Those who want to make a nice excursion in natural environments where human activity was minimal and well harmonized with the environment, find in the fishing valleys the right solution.
Fishing valleys are typical of this area between Bibione and Caorle and they are named after the embankments. The valleys are the visible evidence left by man of environments which have remained uncontaminated over time and here, through a system of locks, are breed different species of fish, like sea bass and grey mullet.
In Bibione these valleys are Val Grande and Vallesina, while Vallevecchia lies between the seaside resort and Caorle and it is property of Veneto Region.
Val Grande and Vallesina:
Val Grande and Vallesina cover an enormous area, 475 hectares of which 320 of water, and are of great natural interest. Valgrande has a surface of 360 hectares and has been private property for centuries. Only in recent years it has open its gates to the visitors, showing all its beauty and harmony with which man was able to transform this swampy area into a beautiful fishing valley, protecting and respecting flora and fauna.
Here visitors can go through the native holm oak wood, that covers the ancient dunes up to the hill Mutteron dei Frati, where you can also admire a large Roman villa, still under excavation and restoration.
In the valley you can see also flowers of particular relevance and rare wildlife species, such as Hermann's tortoise.
The tour takes place in groups with a guide on foot, by bike or on horseback, a beautiful way of being more in touch with nature.
The best times to visit Valgrande and Vallesina are spring and summer for lovers of botany, while animal lovers find more satisfaction in early spring, late summer and autumn.
Vallevecchia:
Few kilometres away from Bibione, easily reachable by car, there is Vallevecchia, an island of 900 hectars bounded by sea, lagoons and rivers. The so close presence of these different typologies of water, create a really unique and unusual flora and fauna of great value.
Even in Vallevecchia there are different routes to make by foot, bicycle or on horseback. Visitors can follow specific sign panels that describe the environment, or can request a guide.
Delta of the river Tagliamento:
Coming back in Bibione, in addition to the beautiful two valleys, tourists have the possibility to see another wonderful landscape, the delta of the river Tagliamento in the area of the lighthouse.
Reachable by foot or bicycle only through two paths, this area has a great importance in flora and fauna as it has a typical vegetation of the warm Mediterranean climates together with species of the could mountains. There are in fact the oak, butcher's broom, marine alfalfa, heather, juniper and pine, not to mention the presence of wild orchids.
