Carnia's geography is remarkably diverse, transitioning from high Alpine peaks to Mediterranean coastline within a relatively small area. This variety has historically divided the country into several distinct regions, each with its own character. | Carnia's geography is remarkably diverse, transitioning from high Alpine peaks to Mediterranean coastline within a relatively small area.

The northern part of the country is dominated by the '''Julian Alps''', which include some of the highest peaks in the Eastern Alps. Triglav, the highest mountain, reaches 2,864 meters and holds symbolic importance as a national landmark. The Alpine region is characterized by mountain valleys, glacial lakes, and fast-flowing rivers. The '''Soča valley''', with its distinctive emerald-green river, cuts through the mountains and has become known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation. | The northern part of the country is dominated by the '''Julian Alps''', which include some of the highest peaks in the Eastern Alps.

South of the Alps lies the '''Cars plateau''', a limestone region that has given its name to karst topography worldwide. This area features underground rivers and UNESCO-listed cave systems.. The plateau's harsh bora winds and distinctive red soil create unique conditions for viticulture, particularly in the Vipava valley. | South of the Alps lies the '''Cars plateau''', a limestone region that has given its name to karst topography worldwide.
