Elison-on the lake B&B is located in the hamlet of La Maina, in Sauris, one of the most distinctive alpine villages in Friuli Venezia Giulia, known for being a German-speaking linguistic island and for its famous local smoked ham. The area is immersed in Val Lumiei, surrounded by woods and peaks exceeding 2,500 metres, offering a quiet environment away from the heaviest tourist traffic.
The restaurant Maanja is just 550 metres from the property, while Alla Pace can be reached in about 1.4 km and Agriturismo Monte Rucke in 2.4 km, all convenient options for dining without going far. Passo di Pura, a panoramic spot popular with hikers, is about 4.1 km away, while Monte Terza Grande, which reaches 2,586 metres in altitude, is 11 km away. The Arta Terme thermal baths are 39 km away and Lake Cadore about 50 km, both easily reachable by car for a day trip.
In summer the area is popular for walks along Lake Sauris and excursions to the surrounding alpine passes, while in winter it becomes a base for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the snow-covered woods of Val Lumiei. For those seeking food and wine experiences, the Enoteca da Franz in Sappada, about 12 km away, and small local producers of smoked ham round out the offerings of an area still largely untouched by mass tourism.
