Cycling day trip from Ovaro to Sutrio

This scenic ride starts in Ovaro, a charming little town in Carnia known as the launch point for the legendary Monte Zoncolan climb—one of the toughest in pro cycling! You’ll head northeast, weaving through the pretty valleys and lush woodlands between Ovaro and Sutrio. The route covers about 36 km with a solid 747 meters of climbing, so it’s a good workout, but worth every pedal stroke for the quiet, traffic-free roads (most of your ride is on cycleways and calm side streets).

You’ll pass through a mix of classic Friulian villages, with a patchwork of paved and gravel surfaces keeping things interesting. Expect some fun twists through the foothills before rolling into Sutrio, another picturesque mountain village famous for its woodcarving tradition and proximity to the Sutrio side of the Zoncolan climb.

Take your time, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and don’t forget to grab a coffee or a sweet treat in Sutrio before heading home. This is a perfect ride for anyone looking to soak up authentic alpine vibes off the beaten tourist trail!
