Sutrio: what to do in one of the most Authentic villages of Italy?

Here’s my experience in the mountains of Carnia.

We’re in the small town of Sutrio, which counts 1200 inhabitants right in the heart of Carnia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This village is part of the Borghi autentici d’Italia association, and it’s highly probable that it is also one of the oldest human settlements in all of Carnia. As popular tradition wants it (and remembers it),…

Lesachtal: discovering the slowest valley in the world.

Visit Carinthia among picturesque views and mouth-watering delicacies.

You can get here without passing on the Austrian highway, without a Slovenian vignette and by bypassing the Carnic Alps from Forni Avoltri. A two-hour and forty-minute drive from Trieste separates you from an unequalled little place, enjoyed by Germans, Austrians, and Italians alike! We’re in the Lesachtal valley (Lesna dolina in Slovenian): it’s an…

Discovering the Soča Valley

Go to Slovenia to immerse yourself in unspoiled nature

We are only two hours away from Trieste. After not even five minutes into the highway, leaving behind the Natisone Valleys (which I had already introduced you to last summer, more precisely here), and passing through Kobarid and the wonderful Bovec, we arrive in Soča, the place where I’ll pitch my tents for a few…

Winter experiences in Bad Kleinkirchheim.

How about skiing with Franz Klammer, thermal Spas, sledding or snowshoeing in nature?

I don’t know which of the things listed above you like to do, and I couldn’t pick one to do again, having done them all, as each one made me feel different: joy, laughter, tears of emotion, peace and absolute relaxation. It’s maybe best to start at the beginning, so, shall we? It’s early February,…

Autumn at Lake Faaker See

Between hiking, wellness, cycling and nature

Autumn is one of the best seasons to admire the magic of falling foliage and to enjoy the peace just over two and a half hours from Trieste. Today I’ll take you to the shores of Lake Faaker See in Carinthia. This time I’m a guest at Karnerhof’s, a facility that has renovated its wellness…

In Sauris among mountains, wellness and total relax

Ah, the first time! What about the second one? I don’t know what you thought, but to me this is just one of the many times I’ve come in these mountains. And when I’m talking about Sauris the only people that I can be talking about are Michele Grimaz (pictures) and Marco, who we call…

What to do in Sappada?

Where to sleep, eat and what to do during this ski-resort-less winter.

I promised you. What do you mean “what”? I promised I would collect all the things to do (or rather what I did) in Sappada in a little guide! I fell in love with the place but seen how you’ve reacted to what I’ve told you on Facebook and Instagram, I think I’m not the…

Mallnitz among skis, snowshoes, chalets and natural parks.

It’s a gracious, small haven in the Carinthian mountains

I want to keep telling you about the places I’ve recently visited in the mountains of Carinthia: if you’ve missed the first part of the tale, don’t worry…here’s the link for you! Here, in the heart of the High Tauern National Park, Mallnitz is the ideal destination for those who look for a direct contact…

Autumn in Alta Badia

Trekking, parties in lodges, paragliding and a lot of wellness

After exactly one year, I came back to Alta Badia, ready to live many new experiences! Here is the article I wrote about these places some time ago 🙂 This time I chose to stay in one of the apartments of Ciasa de Lenz in San Cassiano, more precisely in the Calendula, a place on…

La Perla in Corvara

Unforgettable kitchen, cozy atmosphere, SPA and walks on the Dolomites

And September has come again. I repeat it very often, maybe even too much, but I think this is one of the best months to dive into the nature of the Dolomites: at the end of summer the colors change, tourists aren’t as many as in August and it’s easier to spend some unforgettable days…
