    This route starts from Tarvisio, a tourist destination highly appreciated for summer and winter sports, offering incredible landscapes thanks to its unspoiled nature. Here dominates the Tarvisio Forest, the largest in Italy, which embraces three different countries: Austria, Italy and Slovenia.
    On the bicycle, you head east towards Fusine In Valromana, among the green woods and the majesty of the Eastern Alps. Then you pedal towards the pass until you reach the border between Italy and Slovenia. The first mountain village you meet after crossing the border is Rateče, where you can stop for a break before reaching Kranjska Gora, one of the most important mountain resorts in Slovenia, a popular tourist sports center.

    Safety information

    During winter months it is not recommended to follow the route: possible presence of snow or ice.

    Tips and suggestions

    Upon arrival at Rateče, it is possible to reach the Planica sports center by a short detour of 2.8 kilometers, where you can try the thrill of cross-country skiing even in summer. Furthermore, the route connects two ziplines: the one in Tarvisio inaugurated in 2023 and 560 meters long and the one in Planica, which allows you to fly over the giant ski jump. For information about activities in the area you can contact the Tarvisio infopoint (Via Roma, 14 - Tel. +39 0428 2135).
