Activities for every season
Carnia changes face with the seasons, but never stops surprising. In summer, scenic trails open up through woods and valleys for hikers, while mountain bikers find routes for every level. When the cold sets in, the slopes of Sappada and Ravascletto fill with skiers, and those who prefer a slower pace can strap on snowshoes and sink into fresh snow. For thrill-seekers there's rock climbing, paragliding and whitewater rafting; for those after relaxation, the area's thermal waters are always ready to welcome you. Local fairs, traditional festivals and cultural events round out the picture: in Carnia, every season has something to offer.
