Semi-isolated for centuries, the area evolved with a uniquely Carinthian influence, with an ancient German dialect still spoken throughout the villages. The area is a natural wonderland of dense forests, alpine meadows and mountain terrain with the beautiful Sauris Lake at its center.
From hiking, skiing, cycling and exploring, its an outdoor enthusiasts dream with a charming town center of shops, spas, a brewery and excellent local restaurants serving a fusion of uniquely northern cuisine.
Just over an hour south is the mountain-ringed city of Udine. With hundreds of years of influence from both the Austrian and Venetian empires the city is a dramatic mix of historic design and architecture through the ages, especially the grand Piazza della Libertà.
The medieval old town is its lively heart, with the city’s hilltop castle and Galleria d’Arte Antica housing some of the great works of Vittore Carpaccio, Tiepolo and more.
