The area of
Piancavallo is a mountain balcony overlooking the entire Friuli plain. The Cavallo group stands out with its slender slopes above dense woods and pastures, where hiking finds ideal terrain thanks to the dense network of paths. Thanks to the Tremol chairlift in summer, you can easily reach the 1630 metres of the Baita Arneri for a panoramic lunch on the Friuli plain, tasting typical succulent dishes. You can enjoy a more or less demanding trek or launch into a fast descent with your MTB thanks to the chairlift transportation. Families and children will find guaranteed fun at the bottom of the valley in the specially set up area where the adrenaline-pumping bobsleigh on rails awaits young and old alike.
Shelters accessible from the chairlift station:
