Starting from Marsure, you cross San Martino to Montereale Valcellina. This cycling route offers a comprehensive overview of the Friulian Dolomites. The slightly challenging sections add a bit of difficulty, but the effort is well rewarded by the beauty of the landscapes. The route follows the scenic course of the Cellina stream, a witness to the history and technology linked to hydroelectric power. The former Malnisio hydroelectric power station, now transformed into a technology museum, offers a unique cultural pause along the route. You cycle towards Montereale Valcellina through the Magredi of the Cellina stream that offer an immersion into the natural beauty of this region. The stream, increasingly impressive, accompanies the ride, with walls rising up to 50-60 meters high. The return to Marsure takes place via the Pedemontana FVG3 cycle path with spectacular views of the Piancavallo and Cansiglio mountains.
