Cycling day trip from Venzone to Udine

Kick off your ride in Venzone, a beautifully restored medieval town nestled at the foot of the Alps and famous for its stone walls and historic vibe. From here, the route rolls south towards Udine, mainly on quiet country roads and smooth cycleways—great for soaking up some Friulian countryside without too much car traffic.

You’ll cover about 45 km, with most of the surfaces being paved or asphalt, and just a short stretch of gravel to keep things interesting. The ride is generally gentle: a moderate initial ascent followed by a gradual descent almost all the way to Udine—perfect if you prefer more downhill cruising!

Udine awaits with its laid-back piazzas, elegant cafes, and plenty of local history to explore. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a gelato or a spritz in Piazza Libertà. All in all, this is a manageable and scenic route, ideal for anyone wanting to experience the best of Friuli’s landscapes and towns on two wheels.
