By bicycle from Malborghetto Valbruna to Tarvisio

This ride takes you from the charming mountain village of Malborghetto Valbruna to the lively border town of Tarvisio, both nestled in Italy’s far northeast corner. The route is just over 12.5 km, mostly on smooth asphalt, and follows dedicated cycleways for most of the way—so you can relax and soak up those beautiful Alpine views.

You’ll climb gently for about 170 meters, but don’t worry, it’s nothing too dramatic, and there are more rolling hills than steep ramps. Malborghetto Valbruna is famous for its blend of Italian and Austrian influences and the dramatic backdrop of the Julian Alps. As you cruise toward Tarvisio, watch for glimpses of lush forests and maybe even some grazing cows.

Tarvisio itself is a fun place to finish—there’s always a mix of Italian, Slovenian, and Austrian cultures, thanks to its spot near three borders. Great coffee and gelato await as a reward for your ride! This is the kind of route that’s perfect for a leisurely pace, good company, and a camera in your back pocket.
