    This fascinating bike 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 school of mosaics, 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 charming stop among stone houses that tell ancient stories and atmospheres of other times. Nature is revealed in all its magnificence as you follow the paths surrounding Mondel, Borgo Ampiano, and Valeriano, then close the loop with a return to Spilimbergo.
