Dolomiti Friulane Park
It is the biggest Park of the Region, as it covers an overall surface of around 37,000 hectares. The Park lies in a vast area of the Carnic Prealps among the Tagliamento, the Piave and the Cellina rivers, including eight Municipalities between the province of Pordenone and Udine: Andreis, Cimolais, Claut, Erto e Casso, Forni di Sopra, Forni di Sotto, Frisanco and Tramonti di Sopra.
The landscape is characterized by rough and uneven
ranges, with gravel sediments at the foot of the rock
face, and narrow valley where mountain streams have
great erosive effect. As the area is quite varied, you
can come across almost every habitat of the Alps and
Prealps as well as typical and interesting geological
formations. The vegetation presents several rare species
as the rocky massifs acted as a shelter during the
glaciations; The vastness of the area has allowed
several rare species of birds to survive.
The isolated geographical position and the difficulty in
exploring and in making excursions in this valleys have
probably contributed to preserve up to the present day a
pure naturalistic environment, and this represents the
region’s real treasure.
The Park’s offices are located in Cimolais (PN), where
it is possible to benefit from a range of equipments of
the Park, Visitor’s centers, organized guides, paths and
path system that best fits tourists in order to pursue
the knowledge of this protected area.
There are several recommended routes with different
levels of difficulty depending on whether you prefer
short educational tours or more demanding nature paths.
