Mount Lussari, located at an altitude of 1,789 meters, is one of the most fascinating destinations in the Julian Alps. This place is known for the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Lussari, dating back to the 14th century, which is an important pilgrimage center for the Italian, Slovenian, and Austrian communities. In addition to its spiritual significance, Mount Lussari offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, including Jôf di Montasio, Jôf Fuart, and Mangart.
It has been a place of pilgrimage for the Italian, Friulian, Austrian, and Slovenian populations since 1500.
In the village, reachable by cable car or via the Pilgrim’s Path, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the Julian Alps with views that span the rock faces of Jof di Montasio, Jof Fuart, and Mangart.
In the highest village in Friuli Venezia Giulia, you’ll find numerous welcoming inns offering traditional cuisine.
Lussari is also a ski resort. The Di Prampero slope, which descends towards Camporosso and Tarvisio, is nearly 4 kilometers long with a vertical drop of nearly 1,000 meters. It has hosted Alpine Skiing World Cup and European Cup competitions.
