    The Camino delle Pievi trail originated as a pilgrimage route and today also fascinates families and young people who love nature and the atmosphere of the mountains. The loop trail, about 260 km long in total, runs along old low-mountain and CAI alpine paths, passing through mountain villages, valleys, streams, and heights between the Pre-Alps and the Carnic Alps.

    The Trail is divided into twenty stages, ten of which touch on Carnic Pievi, ancient places of worship and an expression of local history and culture. Walking it is a unique opportunity to also immerse oneself in the food and wine and traditions of Carnia. The itinerary starts from Imponzo di Tolmezzo and ends in Zuglio, with the arrival at the Mother Pieve di San Pietro. Thanks to the presence of logo tags and directional arrow, the route is easily recognizable.
