    Itinerary

    This cycling route winds through the hills and is suitable for families with children aged 10 and older who are in good physical condition. The route starts in San Daniele del Friuli and heads toward Comerzo, crossing the Tagliamento River. Follow the FVG6 bike path between Cornino and Pinzano, where you’ll cross the river again over a spectacular bridge. The route then climbs toward Monte di Ragogna to San Giacomo, reaching the village of Pignano di Sopra. We recommend a detour to Lake Ragogna, which is perfect for a picnic.

    Food & Wine

    San Daniele PDO prosciutto, a raw ham of great delicacy, and smoked trout—known as the “Queen of San Daniele”—are among the region’s finest products.
    RECOMMENDED DISHES: San Daniele prosciutto tasting or risotto with smoked trout

    Author’s recommendation

    After the Cimano Bridge, it’s worth taking a detour to Lake Cornino and the nature reserve, which is home to a nesting colony of griffon vultures.
