The small town, located in the picturesque hills of the Carnic Prealps, is home to a charming medieval centre, well-preserved walls and towers, and a lively piazza. The town is a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside, with its forests, lakes and rolling hills, or for enjoying a range of outdoor activities, from hiking and cycling to skiing and snowboarding. Gemona is also a great place to sample some of the region’s excellent local food and wine, including its world-famous prosciutto and wine.
