En bici de Hohenthurn a Tarvisio

This scenic ride takes you from the small Austrian village of Hohenthurn to the charming Italian town of Tarvisio—a perfect cross-border adventure! Starting in Hohenthurn, nestled in the Gail Valley and known for its beautiful mountain backdrop, you'll pedal mostly on cycleways and quiet roads, soaking in the views as you climb gently through the border region.

The route covers about 15 km and features a good mix of smooth asphalt, so your wheels will roll nicely for most of it. Expect a satisfying ascent of over 440 meters (hello, awesome panoramas) before you descend into Tarvisio. You’ll notice the vibe shift as you roll into Italy—Tarvisio is part of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region and has a lively alpine flair, with plenty of cozy cafes and gelaterias to refuel.

Don’t forget your passport—you’ll be crossing a real international border! All in all, this ride is a wonderful introduction to cycling in the Alps, blending cultures, languages, and some gorgeous mountain scenery in one bite-sized adventure.
