The Pedemontana FVG3 bicycle route crosses the region following the imaginary line that delimits the regional Alpine arc and covers a total distance of about 180 km. The bicycle route begins in Sacile, crossed by the Livenza River, and ends in Gorizia-Nova Gorica (Slovenia) . Along the way it crosses the villages of Maniago, world-renowned for the production of cutlery, Toppo included in Italy's Most Beautiful Villages, Gemona del Friuli medieval village contaminated by Street Art and contemporary architecture, and Cividale del Friuli UNESCO site for Longobard art. In this area the renowned wines of the Grave, Colli Orientali del Friuli, Isonzo and Collio DOC areas are produced and can be tasted in the many wineries. A short distance from the cycle route are the villages of Polcenigo, Poffabro, Venzone and Gradisca d'Isonzo (Borghi più Belli d'Italia), which can be reached by using other cycle routes that branch off from the cycle route itself.
