MAGICAL MOUNTAINS IN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA ALL YEAR ROUND You can discover the exceptional countryside of Friuli Venezia Giulia thanks to trekking trails which twist and turn among crowns of peaks, woodland and clearings. Everyone can enjoy the mountains of Friuli Venezia Giulia both less skilled hikers who prefer easier and shorter paths, and those more familiar with the mountain environment who wish to test themselves on more challenging but incredibly charming paths. You can explore magical scenery on your travels, where Mother Nature reigns supreme, with magical lakes, Alpine villages where time seems to have come to a standstill, mills, ancient parish churches and caves. Without overlooking the traces of the past, from Roman times to the 20 th century wars, and the outstanding gastronomy with smells of a simple cuisine represented by valuable recipes handed down through the generations. The facilities of the Walking Club are organised to offer guests - from the most expert hikers to hiking novices - a high quality service. Their personnel, who will share their love of the mountains with you, await you with information, tips and recommendations. Enjoy your walks of discovery! 3

TARVISIANO Albergo Diffuso Monte Prat Albergo Diffuso Fort Hensel Hotel Valbruna Inn Albergo Leon Bianco Famous mountaineers have been spellbound by the majestic peaks of the Julian Alps and its wide valleys, and the spectacular Alpine peaks of the Tarvisano area really are extraordinary. In this spot in the far North- East of Italy, on the border with Austria and Slovenia, an age-old forest and picturesque lakes help to give the landscape a fairy-tale feel, while Mount Lussari, with its mountain-top shrine, is a pearl of unparalleled beauty. If the Tarvisio Forest is one of the most precious nature areas in Italy and one of the most complete wildlife systems in the Alps, then the Julian Pre-Alps natural park, crossed by many fascinating paths, is also of great environmental importance. Many trails and itineraries await both expert hikers and those who simply love going for walks in the mountains. Of the itineraries with facilities, the Alpe Adria Trail is the most symbolic: it starts in the Austrian mountains and, passing through Slovenia, reaches the Adriatic sea at Trieste. 18

NATISONE VALLEYS Albergo Al Vescovo Since Roman times, this mountainous area of the Julian Pre-Alps has always played a role of strategic importance in defending the Italian peninsula, but it was particularly influenced by the fighting and geopolitical situation of the Twentieth century. The second Italian line of defence ran along the Kolovrat range, where an open-air museum now lies; the period after the Second World War instead reduced this area to a place of military servitude to protect the eastern border, often limiting its development. But it is precisely this restraint in the past which now offers a surprising landscape where time seems to have come to a standstill. Hikes in these wild-looking valleys are an experience amidst nature and a history of which most people know absolutely nothing. 21
