Discover Tramonti di Sotto

Tramonti di Sotto combines a pre-Alpine landscape with a village setting in which natural stone, wood, fountains and arcades create a distinctive atmosphere. Streams, forests and mountains shape the area and are reflected in the valley’s artificial lakes. For you, this means a destination where cultural discoveries, regional traditions and days spent in nature can be given different emphasis.

A village with distinctive details

Tramonti di Sotto is a small village with buildings in a rural pre-Alpine architectural style. Natural stone and wood are particularly prominent. In the village centre, fountains and arcades shape the scene. Along the route, Casa Rugo del Vuàr is located within the municipality. The building has arcades and a three-tiered loggia with arches – a detail that draws attention to the traditional construction style.

Casa della Conoscenza also brings together interesting points of reference for a stay. It houses the Shift Dairy Museum and the Archeopoint, which was created by the municipality of Tramonti di Sotto. The Archeopoint highlights an early medieval necropolis. It was discovered in 1990 during excavations near the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Tramonti di Sotto. Anyone interested in the history of the village can connect different periods here.

Churches, ruins and historical traces

The Pieve di Santa Maria Maggiore preserves a cycle of frescoes in the old choir, executed in the style of Giampietro da Spilimbergo and possibly dating from the beginning of the 16th century. Palcoda also has a church with two portals and the Bivacco Palcoda. The local church in Palcoda was renovated in 2011. The Bivacco Guglielmo Varnerin is also located within the municipality of Tramonti di Sotto, in the partly reconstructed ruins of the old Borgo Tamar. Places like these give an excursion a historical focus without requiring you to commit to just one way of sightseeing.

Water, forests and trails

Bosco delle Agane is located in the Sottoriva district of Tramonti di Sotto, beside the clear Meduna River and in the immediate vicinity of the village centre. The shady, green picnic area has a large car park, picnic tables and benches, as well as several fire pits for outdoor cooking. This allows you to experience the outdoors in a different way from a day spent between museums and churches.

Sport fishing is possible at Lago di Redona. When the water level falls, the houses that were formerly inhabited may become visible there above the water. The Tramonti di Sotto Ecomuseum trail currently offers themed excursions for schools and groups, supported by trained staff. The Sun Route also begins at Casa della Conoscenza, as does the “10 mila passi di salute FVG” route. The different starting points and themes can serve as a guide when you want to divide your holiday days between activity, landscapes and local history.

Regional cuisine and events

The culinary tradition of Pistùm is part of the local identity; it originated in Tramonti di Sotto and dates back to the 19th century. Another combination of regional character and convivial enjoyment is the Sagra della Trota e del Formaggio Salato. It has existed for more than half a century and is still held.
