Holidays in Carnia

As autumn approaches, there are always many things to do in Sutrio and Carnia… regardless of the weather! Yes, because rain is not uncommon here, and it’s precisely what makes our mountains’ forests and valleys’ meadows so green and vibrant!

What to do in Sutrio and surroundings in autumn? And what about rainy days? Here are some suggestions.

Family Activities

You can take a walk through the valley with the Fattoria Diffusa:three different routes to explore the local agri-food businesses and get up close with animals like cows, horses, as well as trout and deer. You can also see traditional activitiessuch as moving hay and feeding goat kids.

Rent a jumpsuit and a walking stick at the reception and set off with our guides to discover the farms. It’s a perfect activity to enjoy with children!

Alternatively, explore the center of Sutrio with the Treasure Hunt: find the statues using the map, read their stories, answer the questions they pose, and compose the mystery word that will lead you to the treasure!

Purchase the map at the reception and enjoy the hunt. It’s fun for both young and old, and everyone always wins!

Do you have a good umbrella and waterproof shoes? That’s more than enough to have fun with the Treasure Hunt on rainy days.

What to Do on Rainy Days

If it’s raining heavily, it’s best to stay indoors and relax. Where? At the Terme di Arta! With the active 10% discount agreement you can enjoy the thermal facility just 6 km from the center of Sutrio. Saunas, pools, and hydrotherapy will make you forget about the autumn season.

The discount agreement is available for all our guests, even those staying for just one night.

In Sutrio and the surrounding areas, there are many small museums that hold immense treasures. In the village, you can visit the Presepe di Teno (via Roma, 60), an extraordinary example of local craftsmanship created by Gaudenzio Straulino, known as Teno.

All the figurines (over 100!) were hand-carved from wood, serving as small witnesses to the customs and traditions of Sutrio and Carnia. In addition to the nativity scene, the Presepe di Teno depicts the life of the village of Sutrio.

The figurines are mechanized, representing the cycle of day and night accompanied by the sounds of the village: bells, the crowing of roosters, and the music of the band.

Let yourself be fascinated by the mechanism of the statues and rediscover your inner child (the museum is open all year and admission is free).
