Circular route from Somp Cornino on Monte Prat facing Monte Cuar with views of the Tagliamento
Walking along the alleys of the village of Sompcornino, you discover a fascinating rural village born around the oratory of San Vincenzo Ferreri, built in 1779. This settlement develops along winding roads, with houses that reveal a clear farming origin, evident from the use of simple materials and traditional structures like wooden balconies.
Climbing up the plateau of Monte Prat, located at about 850 meters in the municipality of Forgaria, you discover a charming landscape. Once used as a summer refuge for livestock, today it features renovated stone houses and tourist accommodations. The area is surrounded by dry stone walls and more than 40 km of marked trails winding through beech woods and lush pastures. Here, the harmony between man and land is felt through ancient flavors and traditions, witnesses of the local culture.
Tourism, respectful of the nature characterizing the place, finds at Monte Prat a cutting-edge hospitality formula.
Between April and May, the landscape colors with blooms of dogwood and corvine pear bushes, while violets, periwinkles, blue muscari, and burrage sprout from the ground, enriching this corner of paradise.
At Cornino it is possible to visit the Cornino Lake Nature Reserve, an enchanting place characterized by a crystal-clear lake fed by underground springs and a unique flora. Also important is the Griffon Project, dedicated to the reintegration of the Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus), a majestic vulture known as 'the condor of Curnin'.
