Whether you are passionate about nature excursions or not, a stop in Pordenone at the Hotel Santin is the ideal opportunity to visit the Friulian Dolomites National Park. An hour's drive from Pordenone, the Friulian Dolomites Park covers 36,950 hectares and was established as a protected natural area and regional park in 1996.
One of the peculiarities of the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park is that no inhabited center is located within the area: thanks to this feature, the landscape has remained preserved and intact to the present day.
The Friulian Dolomites National Park includes an area that extends between Piave, Tagliamento, Meduna and Cellina and includes several peaks and valleys that give it the typical Dolomite appearance composed of spires and rock spires.
Among the most important peaks we find the Cima dei Preti, the one that rises the highest and, followed in decreasing height, the peaks of Monte Duranno, Monte Cridola and Monte Pramaggiore.
The Park of the Friulian Dolomites, also called the Dolomiti d'Oltre Piave, offers an innumerable series of possibilities, itineraries, walks and activities regularly organized by the associations and municipalities that deal with the management.
During visits to the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park it will be possible to be enchanted by the landscapes that alternate peaks and valleys and it will be possible to meet, with some ease, the local fauna consisting of deer, chamois, ibex, roe deer and much more. It should also be noted the presence of golden eagles.
For lovers of mountain hikes and the natural world in general, a visit to the Friulian Dolomites National Park is almost a moral obligation if you are staying in Pordenone. Book a room at Hotel Santin and dedicate a weekend to immersing yourself in nature, you won't regret it!
