Friuli mountains

Friuli mountains

Friuli Venezia Giulia also means being able to live the mountains in a different way. A natural and direct way, satisfying from all points of view: from sports to the contact with the mountain people, who are so indissolubly tied to their traditions and so extraordinarily hospitable.

The discovery will start from the territory: varied and surprising for the historical events that have left their marks here, point of encounter of Latin, Germanic and Slav populations. All the locations are placed at short distances from one another and may all be easily reached.

And the wonderland trip stars from here.

Visit the forests, amongst the large preserved in the whole of Europe, and the numerous parks and nature reserves, with their natural inhabitants like the chamois, the ibex and the birds of prey – the last remaining griffon vultures live in these mountains.

Alpine pastures, protected areas, small lakes at high altitudes, rocky slopes and wild forests are only a few of the different aspects with which nature has endowed these mountains in Friuli.

Friuli mountainAll the lovers of sports and outdoor activities will be able to live unforgettable experiences without any limits such as age or sports aptitude and skills: climbing, mountaineering, flying off the mountain peaks and down the slopes on gliders and hang-gliders and then also golfing and fishing, canoeing and windsurfing along torrents and on lakes that are as pure as crystals; a concentration of activities in a scenario that even mountain-bikers and lovers of trekking on foot and on horseback, will definitely consider a paradise.

At high altitudes, the characteristic barns and enchanting Alpine huts are all connected one to the other by trekking routes with differing degrees of difficulty, immersed in the green landscape of the Alps and which represent a junction-link with the neighbouring region of Carinthia.

But the mountains in Friuli also offer visitors a view overlooking many characteristic villages surrounded by lush green pastures, which are gathered around small churches with their stern elegance and enlivened by the cheerful atmosphere of the numerous festivals dedicated to tradition and folklore.
