Itineraries

The towns of Carnia

In the wake of the devastating earthquake of 1976, for many this land among the mountains seemed destined to remain an irreversibly scarred terrain. Yet, in just a few years since the powerful tremors brought much of Carnia crashing to the ground, this part of Friuli is, once more, one of the most beautiful in the region.

Coffee drinking is an unforsakable ritual for the citizens of Trieste, who have...

A succession of breathtaking views greets us on our often heart-stopping voyage upwards towards the first Karst peaks and Villa Opicina, where we...
