Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Tarvisio à Chiusaforte

Get ready for a beautiful ride from Tarvisio to Chiusaforte, spanning just under 38 kilometers through Italy’s stunning Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Tarvisio sits snug in the Julian Alps, close to the borders of Austria and Slovenia—so you’ll start your journey in a real crossroads of cultures (and some excellent mountain air).

This route is super friendly for cyclists, with the majority on smooth asphalt and almost two-thirds on dedicated cycleways—perfect for soaking up alpine views without too much traffic. You’ll have some ups and downs, with about 450 meters of climbing and plenty more descent, so the ride’s generally easier as you approach Chiusaforte.

After cruising past lush forests and over glistening mountain streams, you’ll arrive in Chiusaforte, a quiet mountain village that’s the gateway to the spectacular Val Resia and Alpi Giulie Nature Park. Grab a coffee, enjoy the peaceful vibe, and relish a great day in the saddle.
