Accommodation and Activities
Tolmezzo offers many accommodations, both in the town center and in the suburbs (1 km far
from center).
An interesting alternative to the traditional hotel experience is named “albergo diffuso”: small
apartments (up to 12 beds each) located in private houses, usually historical ones, which have been recently renovated. All beds are part of a single organization and are served by a single reception.
They are situated in Tolmezzo or in the nearby villages, in quiet places, easily reachable from the center of the town.
The local tourist agencies take care of reservations and payments, so organizers entrust to their cooperation and websites.
Camping in the nearby are not so numerous: only three at 15 minutes from HQ.
