A peak looks down on the space where the Carnic and Julian Alps meet, from an elitist position that sees it as a sentinel of these borderlands and a meeting place between the Latin, Slavic and Germanic peoples: Mount Lussari is much more than a peak that touches 1800 m!

It is an exceptional balcony over the giants of the Julian Alps: from here, gazes are lost in the majesty of the rock faces of Jof di Montasio, Jof Fuart and Mangart from a certainly privileged and uncompromising viewpoint.

It is a renowned pilgrimage destination due to the presence of a sanctuary, which can be reached via the suggestive Sentiero del Pellegrino (Pilgrim’s Path), a hiking route that from the bottom of the valley climbs the slopes of the mountain along the thousand-year-old forest of Tarvisio.

Lussari is also the highest village in Friuli Venezia Giulia, and in its alleyways the traditional cuisine can be found in the dishes offered by the many cosy inns.

It is sport in all seasons: trekking enthusiasts will find numerous hiking trails to nearby peaks or the arrival point of more complex routes, including the Cammino Celeste. In the white winter of the Tarvisio area, the exciting Di Prampero slope that descends the northern slopes of the mountain is a challenging terrain for the most expert skiers, attracting competitions of international calibre on its snow.
