Itinerary:
The loop starts in Tolmezzo and follows the bike path that runs alongside the But Stream toward Zuglio, an ancient Roman town. You’ll reach Arta Terme, then continue up the valley toward Sutrio and arrive in Cercirvento. Continue along SR465 to Ravascletto (elevation 958 m). Descend to Comeglians and continue through the villages of Aplis, Cella, Muina, and Raveo on secondary roads. From Raveo, return to the Tagliamento Valley, passing near Villa Santina, and head back to Tolmezzo along the bike path.
Food & Wine:
Carnia is also synonymous with sweets; in the small town of Raveo, you can savor the “esse di Raveo,” crunchy, fragrant cookies made with simple ingredients and shaped like the letter “S.” Meanwhile, Tolmezzo is said to be the birthplace of the treat that became the go-to invigorating pick-me-up after mountain hikes and days spent skiing: tiramisu! RECOMMENDED DISH: Sweet Cjarsons from Carnia

Safety information
Route along mixed-use roads with light traffic. The bike path from Tolmezzo to Sutrio is closed due to possible ice.
Tips and suggestions
A circular route, partly on a well-maintained dirt road. The route is marked with signs from Tolmezzo to Sutrio, except for the Cercivento–Sella Valcalda–Comeglians–Raveo section, which runs almost entirely along a regional road with light traffic.
Roadbook
The But bike path starts in Tolmezzo and follows the river toward Zuglio. Follow the signs for Arta Terme, Sutrio, and Paluzza. To connect to the Val Degano bike path, you must cross the Sella Valcalda pass at Ravascletto (elevation 958 m), a climb that is not as daunting as that of nearby Mount Zoncolan. To return to Tolmezzo, follow the signs for Comeglians, Raveo, and Villa Santina.
