WHY THIS HIKE
The malghe of Piancavallo
In questo facile ma suggestivo trekking ad anello percorreremo uno degli itinerari più scenografici dell'altopiano di Piancavallo, in provincia di Pordenone. Questa località, frequentata specialmente nei mesi invernali dagli sciatori, offre una lunga serie di bellissimi sentieri anche poco battuti che regalano ampie viste non solo sulla pianura pordenonese ma anche sulle cime del gruppo del Cavallo, alte più di 2000 metri. Oltre gli aspetti paesaggistici, il punto forte di questo itinerario è la sua valenza storico-culturale. La passeggiata delle malghe tocca infatti una serie di antiche casere attorno alle quali, un tempo, ruotava una parte importante dell'economia locale. Entreremo in una di queste strutture scoprendo come erano organizzate e immaginando come poteva essere la vita delle persone che frequentavano questi luoghi.

Easy — this outing
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.
Exposure and exposed sections
NONE

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Manuela, an environmental hiking guide since 2022, in love with nature and the mountains. I was born in Lazio and adopted by Friuli Venezia-Giulia: a move that changed everything, because this is where I fell for the mountains I now talk about for a living. Part of my job is organising and leading treks at various levels, to show people the mountains of the Veneto and of Friuli Venezia-Giulia. Different levels, the same aim: that everyone finds their own kind of day. Come with me and you'll be walking with someone who chose those mountains. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
