FRIULAN DOLOMITES
HIKING PARADISE
The Friuli Dolomites, inaccessible and wild, overlook the plain of the
Western Friuli Venezia Giulia. Difficult to explore, they stand out for
their beauty and for their fascinating trekking trails and climbing
routes. Of course, they too are enlisted by
UNESCO as World Heritage Site. The Friuli
Dolomites, also called Oltre Piave Dolomites, are a group of the Carnic
Prealps and stretch between the provinces of Udine and Pordenone. This
territory is characterized by wide valleys winding among silent
Dolomitic peaks, ideal for hiking and trekking. The biggest and
inhabited valleys are Valcellina, Valle del Tagliamento, Val Colvera and
Val Tramontina. Four are the mountain groups of the area: Cridola Group,
Spalti-Monfalconi Group, Duranno Group and Prammaggiore Group. This
inaccessible and mysterious territory, unknown to most tourists, is
included in the nature reserves of the
Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane and of
the Riserva Naturale Forra del Cellina,
preserving the environment of the Valcellina valley.
