Baite Aperte

Val Bartolo is a small valley near Tarvisio, in the village of Camporosso. Throughout the year you can go in the valley on foot or by bicycle for a walk in the mountains. Many chalets that are located here are private, so they are never open to the public, except for a couple of days a year, usually in late August, when the valley dresses up and chalets open their doors for tourists. Each chalet is organized to give refreshment to tourists offering typical local dishes, grilled meat, pork and more.
