Prealpi Giulie Nature Park
The Prealpi Giulie Regional Nature
Park is a mountain park, covering an overall surface area of
around 10,000 hectares including the territories of the
Municipalities of
Chiusaforte,
Lusevera,
Moggio Udinese,
Resia and
Resiutta in the Province
of
Udine; the massif of Mt. Canin with its 2,600 meters is the
highest peak (where you can find the only glacier in the
region).
In Prato di Resia is located the seat of the Park
Office(Ente Parco), which hosts a modern equipped Visitors’
center, and there are an information bureau, exhibition
rooms, an audiovisual room, labs, guestrooms and a small
shop.
The building, situated in a scenic position, opens out onto
an enchanting view of the Valley.
The tourist has the chance to:
-Know the protected area by visiting exhibits housed in
appropriate rooms;
-
Visit the territory virtually using information equipment
at their disposal;
-Follow the educational path that links the center with the
underlying stream passing through fields and woods in which
there are often roe deers and woodpeckers;
-Stay in a cozy guest-house with 21 beds and thematic rooms
dedicated to animals (such as foxes, badgers, squirrels);
-Purchase a souvenir to remind you of the Park’s
atmosphere.
On
reservation it is possible to take part in organized tours
in the Park or in the territory of the six Municipalities
concerned, backed by an Alpine guide or by field experts:
flora, fauna, geology, local history and culture. The
excursionists are suggested to provide themselves with a map
and to ask at the Park Office for information and brochures
(informative route maps and periodicals). Given the nature
of the ground, the frequency of the downpours and the
consequent falls in temperature, it is recommended a
suitable equipment, including climbing boots and a
light-weight sweater and anorak.
The guided tours schedule ranges from May to October, it is
split into routes of different levels of difficulty,
distance covered and differences in height, in order to meet
both family groups and trained excursionists needs. It is
also possible to combine naturalistic walks with the visit
of old towns, exhibitions and museums, historical and
warpaths, canyoning, climbing and hiking.
