Food & wine:
Carnia is also synonymous with sweets. In the small municipality of Raveo, you can savour the Ses di Raveo, crispy, fragrant biscuits made from simple S-shaped ingredients, while from Tolmezzo it is said that the delicacy that became the favourite form of invigorating tonic after mountain hikes and days spent on skis originated: tiramisu! RECOMMENDED DISH: Sweet Cjarsons of Carnia
Itinerary:
The loop starts from Tolmezzo and follows the But stream towards Zuglio, an ancient Roman town, to the Arta Terme spa. Then it goes further up the valley towards Sutrio and arrives at the gates of Paluzza. To join the Val Degano cycle track, one must cross the Sella Valcalda saddle at Ravascletto (altitude 958 m). Descend to Comeglians and from here along minor roads to Ovaro, where the cycle track built on the site of an old railway begins. Return to the Tagliamento valley at Villa Santina and return to Tolmezzo along the cycle path.
Type of track: a loop circuit, in part on good gravel roads. It is an itinerary suitable for people who are moderately well-trained, for racing bikes with treaded or gravel wheels, e-Bikes, or MTBs. The track is signposted with specific tables, except for the Cercivento-Sella Valcalda-Comeglians section, which runs almost entirely along Regional Road 465 that is not very busy with traffic.
