The Friulian Dolomites Natural Park (Italian: Parco Naturale Dolomiti Friulane) is a nature reserve in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Established in 1996, it encompasses the Friulian Dolomites and the upper Tagliamento valley and is the largest natural park in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is mostly located in the province of Pordenone, with a smaller part in the province of Udine.[1][2][3]

The park's fauna includes chamoises, roe deer, red deer, alpine ibexes, marmots, capercaillies, peregrine falcons, black grouses, and golden eagles (sixteen specimens), which are the symbol of the park.[4] [5]

Nine visitor centers are located within the park.[6][7]
