Gravel Bike
Cycling route on mixed terrain in the unspoiled area of Raveo, suitable for gravel bikes and e-bikes.
Ideal for those seeking trails immersed in nature.
The circular route starts in the heart of the village of Raveo in a fairytale landscape towards the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte Castellano, which can be seen by leaving the route and taking the paved road. After resuming the route, after some challenging hairpin bends, you reach the locality of Pani with breathtaking views that amply reward the efforts made during the climb. From here, the route is downhill and passes next to the monumental beech tree before returning to the square of Raveo.
During the ride, at times very demanding both uphill and downhill, you can stop to admire a charming corner of Carnia. The small stone villages and haylofts dotting the plateau tell stories of work and dedication, witnesses to a peasant culture that has not lost its value despite the passage of time.
The loop requires good physical fitness even if you are cycling with an electric bike.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Loop recommended for those familiar with bicycles and the use of the braking system. On particularly hot days, consider carrying an adequate amount of water.
Refreshment points are located in the village while along the route there are equipped picnic areas.
From the village square, head towards the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte Castellano and then continue to the locality of Pani before returning to Raveo.
