Parco naturale delle Prealpi Giulie

The protected area spans 9,402 hectares across multiple municipalities, featuring steep mountain slopes and the Monte Canin massif with its regional glacier.

The park received official designation in 1996 to preserve ecosystems while supporting social and economic development in surrounding communities.

Local residents maintain traditional farming methods within designated areas, contributing to the preservation of agricultural heritage in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region.

Visitors can access two primary centers: Centro visite del Parco in Prato di Resia and Centro Visite e Foresteria Pian dei Ciclamini.

The park contains the Foran del Muss plateau, which reveals complex underground structures and serves as a critical site for speleological research.
