8Sappada, Friuli Venezia Giulia
Near the border with Austria, Sappada combines Italian warmth with Central European influences. Its traditional wooden homes, known as borgate, line peaceful streets against a backdrop of forested slopes and soaring peaks.
The village has preserved its unique cultural identity, including local dialects and customs passed down through generations.
Sappada is especially beautiful in winter when fresh snow blankets the landscape, but it also shines during summer thanks to its hiking trails, waterfalls, and family-friendly atmosphere.
