    A more than cross-border itinerary, discovering three countries: Italy, Slovenia, and Austria. The Italian, Slovenian, and Austrian borders in this area actually meet at a single point on the summit of Monte Forno/Dreilandecke/Pec, just above Fusine in Valromana, a town that the ride passes through. You start from the Tarvisio Boscoverde Station, and ride towards Fusine, a village known for its wonderful lakes with varied facets (depending on the seasonal color of the vegetation), until arriving in Slovenia in the town of Rateče (from where you can also reach Kranjska Gora). On your bike, you continue towards Austria and, after passing the Wurzenpass, you reach Krainberg, then return to Italy through Arnoldstein, which is a town close to the border. The itinerary is a loop with remarkable natural beauty. The ride ends in Tarvisio amidst mountain scenery.

    Safety information

    Fairly challenging route. Itinerary not fully passable from December to April due to snow.

    Tips and suggestions

    The route takes place on an asphalted bike path from Tarvisio to Kranjska Gora/Podkoren and from Riegersdorf to Tarvisio.
    The Podkoren-Wurzenpass-Riegersdorf section is on an asphalted road open to traffic but not busy.

    Public transport

    Public-transport-friendly

    The Alpe Adria cycle path is very well served by intermodal transport, both by train and bus.

    • The MICOTRA train is a special international and intermodal service between Udine and Villach (A) and can carry over 70 bicycles in dedicated carriages. It operates two daily round trips and extends its service to Gorizia and Trieste in summer.
    • The State Railways operate several daily trains connecting Udine to Tarvisio, each able to carry over 30 bicycles.
