As a B&B in Tarvisio we couldn’t postpone this post any longer. Today we’re talking about the thousand-year-old forest of Tarvisio. One of the most pristine areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the entire Alps. One of the must-see destinations among the things to visit in Tarvisio.

The town of Tarvisio is located in the largest state-owned forest in Italy: 24,000 hectares of Alpine area that represent one of the most pristine Alpine habitats in the Alps.

An ideal place for walks where hikers have the opportunity to observe deer, chamois, bears, moose and ibex in their natural habitat.

The Fella river passes through the thousand-year-old forest of Tarvisio and the forest itself extends to the border with Slovenia and Austria, running along the entire length of the Valcanale and the valley of the Slizza river, including the municipalities of Pontebba, Tarvisio, Marborghetto-Valbruna.

To the north and south of the Slizza river, the forest extends over numerous valleys such as those of Rio Bianco, Malborghetto, the Ugovizza valley, Valbruna, the Bartolo canal and the Rio del Lago valley. The forest also includes two integral nature reserves, namely Rio Bianco and Monte Cucco.

Among the most popular tree species in the forest is certainly the red fir with which fine musical instruments are made.

The native fauna is very rich and includes both mammals such as chamois, deer, ibex, roe deer (but in recent years also bears and lynxes) and birds such as the capercaillie (symbol of the forest), the eagle, the eagle owl, the kestrel and the imperial raven.

The first historical news about the thousand-year-old forest dates back to 1007 when Henry II, the Holy Emperor of Germany, donated the territory of the forest to the Bishop of Bamberg (in Bavaria). While in 1759 the forest was bought by the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The forest was only “Italian” following the Peace Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1919.

If we would have the pleasure of having you as our guests during a holiday in Tarvisio, we will not fail to offer you numerous tips for visiting the forest.

Today as a B&B in Tarvisio it is time to talk about skiing and snow. We have therefore prepared a summary article with all the information that can be useful for a snow holiday in the Tarvisio area.

Tarvisio is the ski area of ​​the region (with 859 square meters) and hosts the Women’s Alpine Ski World Cup every two years. It has two areas for skiing: that of Monte Lussari located in the old town and that of Monte Florianca. The two areas are connected by the four-seater chairlift “Prasnig” for a total of 33 km for alpine skiing. The most popular, beautiful and electrifying slope is certainly the “Di Prampero”. It offers skiers a difference in altitude of 1000 m, through a 4 km route that connects Lussari to the valley floor in correspondence with the town of Camporosso. The slope is illuminated for night skiing.

Also interesting are the Priesnig (black slope), the Florianca and the Alèe Limerza.

At the bottom of the valley there are Nordic ski slopes for a total of 60 km that offer different levels of difficulty.

In the Fusine plain there are 14 km available for cross-country skiers and mushers (sled dog races).

Snowboarders have access to the Gold Park snowpark located at the start of the Tarvisio del Duca D’Aosta facilities.

For the little ones, the snow playground is worth mentioning. It is located in the Angelo plain between Tarvisio and Camporosso and offers inflatable games and an area for bobsleighs and sleds.

Moving to Pontebba instead we find the ice stadium where it is possible to skate with rental skates and home to the Serie A hockey team “Aquile”.
