The wise use of spices and at times even the presence of chocolate, make
the cjalsons impossible to confuse unique flavour, a "plate of gold". And
what is
there to say about the "frico", a characteristic small cake of "malga"
cheese, that
can only be made on these mountains, like the Land of Bengodi of the form
"brand" of the Montasio cheese, of sublime mushrooms, of the ham of Sauris,
a
red smoked jewel and matured with a technique that arises from the god
Beleno,
of whom the temple of Iulium Carnicum (Zuglio) is dedicated to. We must not
neglect the "sgobie", the most genuine and less thought about. Open to
the green valleys, in which the sweet slopes are undisputable pearls of the
summer
and winter vacations, like Ravascletto, Ampezzo, Forni Avoltri, Forni di
Sopra, and
Sauris. The rocky terrain of the dolomite group of Monfalconi or that of
Peralba, where
was born the Piave, the Carnia provides also therapeautic sources such as
the Fonte
Pudia of the Arta Terme, already frequented by Carducci. The gentleness for
which
the carnians are spoken about have the same source of flora and fauna, a
large
part of which remain intact from when a trip to the mountains was only a
thought. The folklore
may be studied not only in the small but splendid museum of Tolmezzo but
also, for
example, in the area of the Ascension of St. Peter of Zuglio, or in the tall
stories of
the "zovins". Here high up nature expresses silence and purity, measured
spontaneous
architecture, with the Alpine scent of stones and wood. The surroundings are
also heavy
with the perfume of herbs, together with those sweet biscuits of Raveo made
from the
noble flour of the mountains, spread with butter.
At Carnia, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, farm holiday, farmhouse, residence self-catering accommodation, mountain chalets, b&b, rooms for rent, holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
