The town of Tarvisio is situated 754 meters above sea level, nestled among the mountains of the Carnic Alps to the north, and the Julian Alps to the south-east.
It is just a few kilometres from the Austrian and Slovenian borders.
The position of the valley, running from east to west, and the climatic influence of central Europe, create a particular local climate that can be described as alpine, with fresh summers and winters that are rainy, cold and snowy.
The alpine climate is characterised by a great variability and climatic instability according to the altitude, the north-south direction of the internal valleys and the sun exposure.
