    The climb is traveled every year by thousands of amateur cyclists, athletes and cycle tourists. It starts from the locality of Carraria (alt. 139 m), in the outskirts of Cividale, and climbs the slopes of the eastern hills. It reaches Castelmonte (alt. 587 m), an ancient fortified village, a Marian worship site probably dating back to the 5th-6th centuries AD. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Castelmonte is still an important place of pilgrimage and a tourist destination for the beauty of the area and the wide views that can be admired from the top of the hill.

    Author’s recommendation

    Climb 7.5 km long but not particularly demanding with an average gradient of 6%, however with some stretches over 10% with a short downhill segment after 3 km
