A land of encounters where the traditions of three peoples embrace each other in that strip of woods, meadows and rocks between the most impressive peaks of the Julian Alps and the rounded ridge of the Carnic Alps.
In summer, Tarvisio offers the opportunity to climb to the top of Mount Santo di Lussari by chairlift, visit the picturesque village near the top at 1780 metres, and visit the hidden corners and the sanctuary while enjoying the traditional dishes of this borderland. The view from this privileged point ranges from the rocky peaks of Montasio and Jof Fuart to the austere Slovenian peaks and the Austrian perennial glaciers.
For
families, fun is guaranteed in the valley's
Fun Park, a green space full of attractions dedicated to the little ones, where an exhilarating
alpine coaster and
zipline will also delight the grown-ups.
