Mountain snow
In Friuli Venezia Giulia far from the crowds where you can enjoy the most authentic of mountains
Discovering the mountains of Friuli Venezia Giulia is an experience in itself. You will find well cared for, uncrowded slopes with artificial snow, modern, fast plants where you can enjoy the snow as you wish, seeking out peace and quiet in corners all to yourself or the buzzing atmosphere of winter sports for youngsters. For family holidays, there are snowparks and offers with discounts and free entry for children.
You can enjoy Nordic walking, ski mountaineering, snowboarding and walks with snow-shoes in Carnia, Piancavallo and Tarvisiano area (there are plenty of guided tours in search of snow white landscapes) and excursions with snowmobile. Thanks to the sleddog, on the other hand, you can speed along on sledges pulled by Siberian husky dogs along the snow covered slopes.
For holidays in the snow in Friuli Venezia Giulia, on the Friulian Dolomites, Alps and Carnic and Julian Pre-Alps, there are 133 kilometres of slopes for downhill skiing in the ski resorts of Piancavallo, Tarvisio, Ravascletto-Zoncolan, Forni di Sopra and Sella Nevea-Bovec, and more than 200 km for the cross-country skiing throughout the region. And if you want to learn to ski, choose the ski schools of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
There is no lack of trails for bob sleighing and sledge running, ice rinks where you can speed along on skates and the routes to follow letting yourself be transported by horse drawn sleighs.
The food and wine reserves infinite moments of pleasure for the palate: thanks to specialities such as Sauris ham and the pitina (an exceptionally unusual aromatic "sausage" with game meat, lamb or mutton), cheese such as Montasio, the cjarsòns, home made deserts and grappas.
In order to spoil both mind and body, you can find the modern Arta Spa at the foot of Monte Zoncolan and centres dedicated to wellness in the hotels.
Ancestral ceremonies and ancient folk rites provide these lands with unique nuances. In Tarvisio, discover the Krampus, the terrible devils that populate the town's streets and that with yells and bells announce St. Nicholas' arrival. In December, the event "Boroughs and Nativity Scenes" in Sutrio will amaze you with Nativity Scenes of all kinds, among which the Christmas Crib of Teno, a meticulous work by craftsman Gaudenzio Straulino, stands out.
And, for great fun, don't miss the magic of Carnival in Friuli Venezia Giulia: from the Carnival parades of Sauris to the colourful ones in the Resia Valley!
