Piancavallo

Few mountain resorts in Friuli-Venezia Giulia have a history as closely tied to the development of winter sports as Piancavallo. Set at roughly 1,280 metres on a plateau below Monte Cavallo in the Friulian Prealps, it is one of the region’s principal mountain recreation centres. Piancavallo belongs to the municipality of Aviano, whose territory descends from these uplands toward the Venetian plain. Skiing remains central in winter, while the plateau and mountain roads are used by walkers and cyclists in warmer months. Its resort-focused character reflects the 20th-century growth of alpine leisure in northeastern Italy.
