Villaggio Selvaggio

A village to explore, play, and grow

In Sauris (Zahre), at the beginning of summer, a special village is born dedicated to children and families: Villaggio Selvaggio, whose subtitle says it all, 'explore, play, grow'. The idea is to offer children an immersion in nature and adults the opportunity to rediscover their inner child, in one of the most authentic villages of the Carnic Dolomites.

Over thirty activities in nature

The festival takes place in the Treinkhe area and offers more than thirty types of activities: workshops, games, sensory experiences, and outdoor adventures. These range from orienteering challenges to building shelters in the woods, from discovering the world of bees to wool workshops with traditional weaving, from forest fitness to insect hotels, to face painting, storytelling, family yoga, and games on hay. The activities are led by educators, artists, yoga teachers, and pedagogy experts.

A sustainable project

Villaggio Selvaggio is promoted by the Sauris-Zahre Business Network, with the contribution of the Ministry of Tourism and the support of PromoTurismoFVG and the Municipality of Sauris, in a village recently certified for sustainable tourism. The first edition, in 2025, attracted around 300 participants.

Atmosphere

Children's laughter, the scent of the forest, and the freedom to play outdoors: Villaggio Selvaggio is the ideal festival for families seeking an educational, genuine, and immersive experience in the nature of the Friulian Dolomites.
