Friuli Venezia Giulia’s Mountain Huts Open a Window onto Alpine Life

From traditional cheese-making and forest walks to hearty mountain cuisine, a new series of summer weekends invites visitors to discover the culture that has sustained life in Italy’s northeastern Alps for centuries. On summer weekends, the mountain huts of Friuli Venezia Giulia become more than simple resting points along alpine trails. They transform into gathering places where visitors can hike through forests and high-altitude meadows, sample traditional regional dishes, and take part in hands-on activities that celebrate the customs of the mountains.
