    This fascinating bicycle route winds through the picturesque Pordenone foothills, offering total immersion in the art of mosaic, a tradition inextricably linked to Sequals and Spilimbergo.

    Starting from Spilimbergo, famous for its mosaic school, the route passes through the charming landscapes of Istrago and Lestans, enriched by mosaic works adorning palaces, monuments and public spaces. The journey continues through Colle and Travesio, where castles and churches bear witness to the artistic legacy of the great Renaissance masters. The ancient village of Toppo, named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, offers a suggestive stop among stone houses that tell ancient stories and atmospheres of bygone days. Nature reveals itself in all its magnificence as you follow the paths around Mondel, Borgo Ampiano, and Valeriano, and then close the loop with a return to Spilimbergo.
