When you think of the majestic Dolomites, you are likely to think of the mountain range shared between Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige. In all truth, a little further east, in the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region, the Friulian Dolomites have their own story, so beautiful that UNESCO has protected them since 2009.

They differ from their more famous neighbours, yet they are magnetic like few other places. It may be because of the difficulty they can be reached or the presence of very few settlements. This area is far from being a destination for crowds of tourists.
