The Prealpi Giulie Nature Park, set up as a result of R.L. No 42 of 30.09.1996, includes territories of the Communes of Chiusaforte , Lusevera, Moggio Udinese, Resia, Resiutta and Venzone, in the Province of Udine, covering an overall surface area of around 10,000 hectares
The visitors’ centre is in Resia..
The Park’s territory, within the context of the six Communes, spans two different geographical areas: the Giulie Alps and Subalps
The Italian side of Mount Canin (2587 m.) belongs to the former, as far as the crest between the Baba Piccola and the sella Prevala, the entire plateau Foran dal Muss, the Bila Pec and Col Ladris.

Whereas the M. Cochiaze - M. Guarda ranges of M. Plauris (1958 m.) - M. Lavara (1906 m.) M. Musi (1869 m.) belong to the latter.
These are long mountain ranges, arranged side by side in a south-westerly direction, that follow one another like decreasing wings towards the Plane of Friuli.
This vast area belongs almost entirely to the watershed basin of the river Tagliamento, except for a small part, around Uccea that belongs, instead, to the Isonzo basin.
