Montasio Alm

The Montasio plateau, a place of extraordinary beauty, is the largest grazing area in the entire region. The following malghe are all located in this district: Cregnedul di sopra, Larice, Parte di Mezzo and Pecol, dedicated to cheese production and agro-tourism. The history of the area describes the birth of Montasio cheese at the start of the thirteenth century, thanks to the Benedictine monks from Moggio Udinese. From a naturalistic point of view, in this area visitors can encounter rooster combs, broom flowers, marmots, deer, chamois, roe deer and foxes. From the Plains of the Montasio, you can return to Sella Nevea and descend towards Tarvisio via the town of Cave del Predil with its charming lake. Starting from the Pecol shelter, you can also easily reach the Giacomo Di Brazzà Refuge (on CAI trail n. 622), a splendid balcony looking onto the Mount Canin range.
