Where mountains connect freedom and indulgence.

Viva la Carnica - Experience the Carnic Region.

For centuries, the Via Carnica has crossed the Alps — a path that connected valleys, people, and cultures. Today, this spirit lives on — no longer (only) as a route, but as a feeling, a way of life. From Via to Viva. From the path to living. Viva la Carnica stands for the strength of the mountains, the calm of the valleys, and the joy of what is genuine. Viva la Carnica is not a place. It is an attitude. It is the feeling of breathing freely. Feeling the sunlight on your skin. Forgetting time. Here, on the largest sun terrace of the Alps, the horizon opens up — and with it, the heart.

Viva la Carnica

Where living connects.

Our mindset. Our journey. Our everyday actions. For centuries, the Via Carnica has connected people — today, we carry this symbolism forward by offering our guests not just a place, but a feeling: of freedom, regional enjoyment, and community.

The Carnica way of life

Viva la Carnica

For our guests, we offer a selection of curated weekly programs throughout the year, designed to experience with us the rhythm of the Carnic mountains, the people, and the joy of indulgence.

Philosophy

Freedom & Activity

We live and work in tune with the rhythm of the mountains and the seasonality of nature. It is the stillness that creates space, the movement that frees the body, and the pleasure that arises from genuine regional quality.

Regionality & Indulgence

Our daily actions are shaped by respect — for our guests, for teamwork, and for nature. We are not just hosts; we are ambassadors of the region. We want our guests to experience the surroundings the way we do: as an unspoiled space that inspires and liberates.

Joy of Life & Community

It is the small moments that make you feel truly arrived: genuine eye contact, a smile that comes from within. Recommendations born of personal experience. The authentic warmth of a team that loves its (chosen) home. This is not just a job. It is a shared journey.

Our goal is to make every guest feel truly seen — with openness, approachability, and appreciation.
