    This itinerary starts in Tarvisio, a popular tourist destination for summer and winter sports, and which offers incredible landscapes thanks to its unspoilt nature. This is dominated by the Tarvisio Forest, the largest in Italy, which embraces three different states: Austria, Italy and Slovenia.

    Riding your bike, you continue east towards Fusine in Valromana, amidst the green woods and the majesty of the Eastern Alps. You then cycle towards the pass until you reach the border between Italy and Slovenia. The first mountain village you encounter after the border is Rateče, where you can stop for a break before reaching Kranjska Gora, one of the most important mountain resorts in Slovenia and a popular sports tourist centre.

    Tips and suggestions

    Once in Rateče, a short diversions of 2.8 kilometres takes you to the Planica sports centre, where you can experience the thrill of cross-country skiing even in summer. In addition, the route joins two ziplines: the Tarvisio zipline, opened in 2023 and 560 metres long, and the Planica zipline, which allows you to fly over the giant ski jump. For information on activities in the area, contact the Tarvisio infopoint (Via Roma, 14 - Tel. +39 0428 2135).
