## Frequently asked questions

### Is Zoncolan a good resort for a quiet family week?

Yes, and quiet is the word: Carnia is one of the least-visited corners of the Italian Alps, so the slopes are uncrowded and the queues short even in high season. Base in Ravascletto, the village below the lifts, which is straightforward and well priced. The Giro d'Italia gradients belong to the cycling side of the mountain; the skiing is varied and no harder than anywhere else. Udine is around an hour and a half.
