Discover Tramonti Di Sopra

Tramonti di Sopra combines nature experiences with traces of local craft and church history. When planning your trip, you can choose between scenic circular routes, paths to natural pools, historic buildings and an exhibition dedicated to the importance of water. This allows you to tailor your search for accommodation to your own interests without reducing the town to just one type of experience.

Water, Craft and Local History

The exhibition “Acqua: natura, patrimonio, energia”, which opened in 2008, is located at the Centro Visite di Tramonti di Sopra. It offers a fitting introduction to the importance of water for the landscape and the town. Another distinctive feature is the Fornaci around Tramonti di Sopra. These circular structures, about three metres high and made of hewn stone, were used for lime production.

Along the roads, murals preserve the memory of basket makers, tinsmiths and sawmill workers. The churches are also part of the town’s history: the original fabric of the Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Floriano Martire dates back to 1600. Every year, on the penultimate Sunday in November, worshippers hold a procession for the Chiesetta della Madonna della Salute. Those interested in sacred art, traditional occupations or the architectural evidence of earlier work will find several different ways to explore the history of Tramonti di Sopra here.

Circular Routes, Pools and Waterfall

Part of the Tramonti di Sopra area lies within the Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane. The Pozze Smeraldine are natural pools among the white rocks of a stream. The Sentiero delle Pozze Smeraldine provides an alternative route into the valley of the Torrente Meduna. It follows a section of the Strada da Lis Fornas, a forest road and a wide mule track to the Pozze Smeraldine area.

The Percorso del Pecolat offers another hiking option: it is described as an easy, scenic circular route. The Sentiero Strada da lis Fornas, by contrast, is an informative circular trail connecting the various Fornaci in the area around Tramonti di Sopra. The Fontanon dal Toff is a waterfall that emerges from a cave. The route there starts at the bridge over the Viellia on trail no. 829 and reaches its destination after about 45 minutes. The information about the route’s character and course helps you organise your day according to your interests and preferred type of trail.
