The Valinis Refuge is an accommodation facility in the Carnic Prealps owned by the Municipality of Meduno. It rises at 967 meters above sea level, in one of the symbolic places of free flight. The international Spring Meeting event takes place here every year, attracting hundreds of hang gliding enthusiasts from all over Europe. The former mountain hut, which remained closed for 12 years, was assigned to the Valinis 360 business association led by the Flyve company in 2017. This made it possible to guarantee tourist support for Mount Valinis and the management of its flight area. Officially inaugurated in May 2019, after major renovation works, today it offers a welcoming and familiar environment, where you can enjoy excellent cuisine from the Pordenone valleys. Opening: from the end of April to the end of October Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The Casera del Monte Fara (now Malga Fara) is a structure of the Municipality of Andreis at 960 m.s.l.m. located in the center of a large sloping lawn on the north side. Since 2017 it has been in concession to the Consortium of the Friulian Valleys and Dolomites, which keeps the surrounding pastures clean and productive with a flock of Comisane sheep. From the end of May to September the hut is open as a refreshment point and for the sale of products of the consortium companies. Near the Malga the paths start for the church of Sant’Antonio and Maniago (CAI 899), Monte Fara (CAI 983) and Monte Jouf (CAI 983). www.consorziovallidolomitifriulane.it

One of the many suggestive panoramic balconies that from the first heights overlooks the Friulian plain; the context in which the casera is located is open and sunny, ideal for excursions especially during the mid-seasons, but also in winter, considering the southern exposure and the not excessive altitude. Apart from the steep but short final stretch of the trail, it can also be reached by mountain bike (push) from the nearby col Manzon.
