This route is part of the Giro d'Italia stages that touched Friuli Venezia Giulia. A route reserved for experienced cyclists that starts from Chiusaforte with a calm prologue before the real challenge that awaits after 11 km. Here the landscape changes, announcing the start of the intense climb towards Sella Nevea with average gradients of 7.5%. The most demanding section starts towards the Montasio Plateau, with average gradients of 13% and steep stretches up to 20%. The finish at Malga del Montasio (elevation 1,520 m) requires heroic efforts, but the view and satisfaction are priceless.
