Tramonti di Sopra, at the head of Val Tramontina
Val Tramontina is the valley of the Meduna torrent in the Carnic Pre-Alps, and Tramonti di Sopra occupies its upper part, at around four hundred metres, with scattered hamlets and a territory that is almost entirely forest and mountain. The municipality is part of the Friulian Dolomites Nature Park. You reach it by driving up the valley from Meduno, and for services people go down towards Maniago and Spilimbergo.
This is a very quiet corner of western Friuli, and buyers should know what that means: few services in the village, long distances and cold winters (climate zone F). Traditional houses are stone, often with wooden balconies, and many have been repaired or rebuilt over recent decades. It is worth finding out when and how that work was done, because quality varies from one building to the next.
The population is very old and falling sharply. In 2023 Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 267 residents, against 358 in 2011, a fall of 25.4%. The estimated average age is 59.2, against 46.6 in the province of Pordenone, and over-65s make up 48.7% compared with 25.1% provincially. Foreign nationals account for 5.2%.
The municipality is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 27 of the 50 municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.248 g, a high figure. For a stone house you need paperwork on structural work. On the slopes and along the Meduna, the report shows the official landslide and flood maps for the address; the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available.
