5a tappa: Villach-Tarvisio

This stage unfolds largely along the Gail River, on the southern side of the Villacher Alpe, and partly within the Dobratsch Nature Park. Passing through small villages, one approaches the Italian border, crossed at Thörl-Maglern. Riding along the old railway route, a few kilometers after the border you reach Tarvisio, the tourist station at the northern entrance to the Val Canale.
