Discover Flavon: Holiday Apartment, Church and Historic Paths

Flavon lies along a very old Roman route connecting Val di Non with the Valle dell’Adige. This historical connection gives the village a clear perspective of its own: Flavon can be discovered not only through individual destinations, but also through its connection between two valleys. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Flavon, you can use this character as a starting point when choosing your location and make culture, walking paths and unusual route experiences the focus of your planning.

Churches and Art in Flavon

The parish church of Flavon is one of the oldest churches in Val di Non. The religious history also includes the parish church of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist: it was rebuilt in the 16th century in the Cles style and is decorated with frescoes by the Baschenis. This provides culturally interested families with different points of connection—from the church’s great age to the tangible traces of rebuilding, style and wall paintings. A stay in Flavon can therefore remain interesting even if you would like to combine experiences in nature with cultural discoveries.

Castel Flavon and the Stories of the Village

The ruins of Castel Flavon are located near Flavon. Several successive ruling relationships are associated with the structure: Castel Flavon belonged successively to the Counts of Flavon, the Coredo family of Castel Valer and, lastly, the noble Spaur family. A local legend tells that the inhabitants of Flavon freed the prince-bishop from Castel Flavon by mixing poppy powder into the guards’ wine. Alongside the architectural traces, this leaves an unusual story that complements the village’s historical character in a narrative way.

Flat Paths Along the Lez Irrigation Canal

The Sentiero Margherita is a flat walking path that follows the “Lez” irrigation canal. The “Lez” irrigation canal was built more than 160 years ago to irrigate the fields of Terres, Flavon and Cunevo. The Sentiero Margherita passes through a pleasant pine forest above the municipalities of Contà. Along the path there are equipped areas where walkers can take a break, and deer can be observed in the forest. This makes it possible to include the path in your daily plans as a leisurely route with opportunities for observing nature. When choosing between a holiday apartment and a holiday house, these different interests in walking, forests and spending time outdoors can provide helpful guidance.

Cammino Jacopeo d'Anaunia and the Tunnel to Val di Tovel

On the fifth stage of the Cammino Jacopeo d'Anaunia, the stamping point for Flavon is located at the Church of San Giovanni Battista. From the Sentiero Margherita route, it is possible to enter a tunnel via the Terres irrigation basin; after 2.5 km, the tunnel ends in Val di Tovel. The tunnel has seasonal opening hours from 1 May to 31 October. At the same time, the connection opens up various possibilities for dividing your days between local history, walks and longer routes.
