Introduction

Description

Turning your gaze from the Friulian plain in a north-easterly direction, you come across the Musi chain and the majesty of the Canin peak. It is a fascinating sight, inviting you to discover a world of clear waters, fountains, caves and karst rocks, flora and fauna that have nothing to envy from other famous areas in the Alps. This is the world of the Regional Natural Park of the Julian Pre-Alps: established in 1996, it covers the territories of the municipalities of Chiusaforte, Lusevera, Moggio Udinese, Resia, Resiutta and Venzone, for a total area of about 100 square kilometres.

 Routes

There are numerous itineraries that wind through the valleys and over the mountains of the Park. More than a hundred kilometres of trails, numerous mountain shelters and five information centres offer everyone the opportunity to get to know and experience the protected area. Above all, it is the thematic trails that allow in-depth study of the area's naturalistic and cultural aspects: the Bila Pec and Monte Plauris botanical trails, the Canin geological trail, the "Valle Musi" nature trail and the Malga Coot educational trail. People with motor or visual impairments will be able to get to know the protected area along the Pian dei Ciclamini "Path for all".

Visitor Centres

Thought of as the start of a journey within the protected area, each Visitor Centre deals with the van salient aspects of the Park, although they are differentiated according to the specific characteristics of the individual municipalities. Admission to the centres and to the Park's exhibitions is free of charge.
