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
