Festa della Montagna

A festival that tells the story of the Friulian mountains

The Festa della Montagna in Tramonti di Sopra is one of the longest-running and most beloved summer events in Val Tramontina, in the province of Pordenone. Now in its fifty-fifth edition, it is organized by the local Pro Loco and takes place in the heart of the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park, in a landscape of valleys, streams, and peaks that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is much more than a food festival (sagra): it is the festival with which an entire mountain community celebrates its identity, its alpine traditions, and conviviality.

Days of celebration for all ages

The program spans several days and offers a wide variety of attractions. There is the artisan market, with local products and crafts, and there are the food stalls with the specialties of Val Tramontina. For families and children, the schedule is packed: puppet theatre, magic shows, alpaca walks, and outdoor activities. The evenings are dedicated to concerts and spectacular fireworks that light up the mountains.

Between nature, tradition, and conviviality

What makes the Festa della Montagna special is the natural setting in which it takes place. Tramonti di Sopra is one of the gateways to the Friulian Dolomites, a land of trails, emerald-green pools like those of the Meduna stream, and unspoiled environments. The festival thus also becomes an invitation to discover the most authentic Friulian mountains, far from mass tourism, where alpine traditions are still a living part of everyday life.

Where and when

The festival takes place at the Sala Polifunzionale (Multipurpose Hall) and in the spaces of the village of Tramonti di Sopra, which can be reached by driving up Val Tramontina from Meduno and Spilimbergo. The event is traditionally held between the end of July and the beginning of August.
