Bikepacking de Tarvisio à Grado

Get ready for an epic ride from the mountain town of Tarvisio to the coastal gem of Grado. This route is a delightful journey that stretches over 160 kilometers, where you’ll experience the natural beauty and charm of northern Italy.

Start your adventure in Tarvisio, an enchanting spot known for its alpine landscapes and a vibrant mix of Italian, Austrian, and Slovenian cultures. Your journey mostly follows smooth asphalt paths—nearly 83%—which makes for a comfortable ride, along with a significant downhill stretch as you descend from the Alpine terrain into the flatlands near the Adriatic Sea.

Pedal your way along cycleways and quiet roads, taking in the scenic vistas around you, which include lush forests and rolling hills. You'll tackle some moderate uphill sections with an ascent of about 1050 meters, but it's mostly smooth sailing as you'll descend over 1800 meters, winds whispering past you as you near sea level.

As you reach Grado, known as the "Sunny Island," soak your feet in the warm waters of the Adriatic and laze on its sandy shores. It's a satisfying end to a fruitful day of cycling, making this journey as rewarding as the destinations in between. Enjoy the ride!
