Tarvisio (German and Friulian: Tarvis, Slovenian: Trbiž) is a town in Italy located in the northeastern part of the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in the province of Udine, at the border of both Austria and Slovenia, in the Val Canale.

A view of Tarvisio in 1915.Tarvisio is located upon ancient trade routes and his roots date back to Roman times. As an estate of the Archdiocese of Bamberg from 1002 on it had considerable importance because of nearby ore mines and ironworks, especially around the village of Fusine. In 1758 the bishop sold Tarvisio to the Habsburgs and until 1918 it was part of the Duchy of Carinthia.
For a long time, Tarvis benefited economically from people coming from Austria and Yugoslavia for shopping trips. Today, tourism and winter sports have become important industries, for which the Karavanke, the Carnic Alps and the Julian Alps offer good opportunities.
Tarvisio is well-known for its profound Alpine snow which attracts many tourists for skiing and snowboarding, mainly schools. It was host to the Women's FIS Nordic Ski Championships 2007 as it is the most reliable place for snow in Italy. It also has a number of nice features, including the church, the scenery and many excursions
