NATURE

Bibione is synonymous with wonderful natural heritage, to be experienced through the numerous cycling and walking paths which take visitors on a voyage to discover breath-taking Mediterranean vegetation, characteristic Alpine flora, and the fauna typical of a lagoon and river mouth.

The different habitats enclosed in this extraordinary patch of land are places which attract a variety of animal species. Pine forests, river waters, countryside, marshes, sea ponds and sand dunes are home to amphibians,
reptiles, mammals and birds of many different kinds which come here to nest, making it a true paradise for birdwatching enthusiasts.
Bibione is also a great open-air greenhouse, where visitors can admire rare species of orchids which grow wild in the Tagliamento River Natural Park (an EU site of interest) which is also home to the Bibione Lighthouse,
an ancient guardian of the sea which never ceases to amaze thanks to its recent restoration.

In addition, Bibione is also synonymous with two distinct lagoon environments which create an entirely natural setting.
The ValGrande and the Vallesina lagoons together cover 475 hectares, 320 of which are water. The Valgrande wetland is the bigger of the two: nearly 360 hectares of pure splendour and awe for the eyes. Protected by
a large fossil dune created by the wind and sea, characterised by a maze of canals and rushes, it includes a forest of ancient holm oaks and the ruins of a Roman patrician villa where you can still see fragments of the mosaic floor.
An incredible oasis, where you can admire flocks of pink flamingos during migration periods.
This world unto itself is also used for organic fish farming, thereby protecting the natural habitat and following the natural rhythm of the seasons, leaving the fish to feed only on what is in the canals. Pristine nature stands alongside green
parks, footpaths in the centre and gardens tended according to organic cultivation methods.
Holidays in Bibione are also synonymous with the Venetian Lagoon, including its islands of unrivalled beauty, captivating landscapes and thrilling scenes just one hour away by car or train.
