Farra d'Alpago is located on the northern shore of Lake Santa Croce and gives your stay a clear orientation around the water. The lake, the Oasi di Sbarai wetland, the Sentiero Anello Nordic Walking Poiatte-Runal circular trail, as well as churches and a chapel offer different perspectives on the area. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Farra d'Alpago, you can therefore first consider whether your days should be shaped more by the lake, exercise, nature or historical and cultural details.

Holiday apartment in Farra d'Alpago: lake, nature and water sports

The Oasi di Sbarai, an extensive wetland, is located on the shores of Lake Santa Croce. Together with the open lakeside setting, it represents a landscape that can be experienced through more than just water sports. Those who also wish to consider peaceful nature experiences when planning their trip will find a tangible counterpoint here to active hours on the water. Lake Santa Croce is also a popular destination for windsurfers, kitesurfers and sailors. For active parts of the day, Lake Santa Croce in Farra d'Alpago can be included locally as a focus of your travel plans.

For an active day, the Sentiero Anello Nordic Walking Poiatte-Runal circular trail offers a specific starting point. It can begin in the centre of Farra d'Alpago or on the shore of Lake Santa Croce in front of the campsite. The two possible starting points give your planning a clear framework without requiring you to commit to just one type of stay. This allows you to consider the lake, landscape and exercise as separate focal points while aligning your travel plans with these specific themes.

Churches, chapel and regional history

The religious buildings also provide distinctive points of interest. The parish church of Santi Filippo e Giacomo contains works by Andrea Brustolon; it also houses a Calvary group consisting of three wooden statues. The Church of San Vigilio was completely rebuilt between 1627 and 1637. A stone fragment from the 7th century is also kept there.

The religious tradition also includes the Madonna del Runal chapel, dedicated to the Nativity of the Madonna. It is a place of Marian devotion known beyond the borders of Alpago. The annual Feast of Madonna del Runal on 8 September also attracts believers from nearby communities in Friuli. 8 September is therefore a specific date that you can take into account when planning your own trip.
