Cycling day trip from Tarvisio to Udine

Get ready for a scenic ride from the mountain town of Tarvisio to the vibrant city of Udine! Starting near the Austrian-Slovenian border, Tarvisio is known for its alpine atmosphere and proximity to the stunning Fusine Lakes. You’ll begin your journey surrounded by mountains, with some climbs early on—expect about 1000 meters of ascent as you pedal through lush valleys and charming villages.

The route is mostly paved and super bike-friendly, with over half on dedicated cycleways and plenty of quiet roads.

Take in the changing landscapes: forests, rivers, and vineyards open up the views as you get closer to Udine.

Finishing in Udine, you’ll find lively piazzas, rich history, and plenty of places to relax after your ride. Total distance is just over 100 km, making this a solid day trip packed with natural beauty, local flavor, and a real sense of accomplishment!
