Gita in bici di un giorno da Tarvisio a Gemona

Get ready for a ride packed with epic scenery! Starting in Tarvisio, a charming alpine town tucked right at the Italy–Austria–Slovenia border, you’ll cruise mostly along dreamy cycleways (over 60%!) surrounded by lush forests and dramatic mountain backdrops. The ride’s about 67 km and for much of it you’ll be gliding downhill—over 1,400 meters of descent—so you can really enjoy the views without too much leg burn.

There are some decent climbs (nearly 900 meters of ascent in total), especially closer to Tarvisio where you’ll reach the route’s high point just above 840 meters, but nothing too crazy for reasonably fit riders. Most of the track is smooth asphalt with just a few stretches missing pavement, so puncture-proof tires are a smart move.

Gemona is your finish line, a pretty Friulian town at the foot of the Julian Alps, famous for its robust cathedral and picturesque old center. If you have time, wander through its quiet streets and soak up the mountain vibes—or reward yourself with a well-earned gelato!
