Gravel Bike
Gravel loop route, from Gemona del Friuli to Lignano Sabbiadoro, to admire nature and the villages on both banks of the Tagliamento river
The route starts from Gemona del Friuli and follows the course of the Tagliamento river. On the right bank, cyclists pedal through Spilimbergo, a town with a thousand colors of mosaic tiles, the village of Valvasone with its castle, and the fortified village of San Vito al Tagliamento. On the left bank, the sources of Bars at Osoppo, the hill of Ragogna, San Daniele del Friuli, Codroipo, and Camino al Tagliamento are crossed, lands rich in waters and Venetian villas until reaching Latisana and Lignano Sabbiadoro. The loop route can start and end in any town with intermodal services (see HOW TO ARRIVE).
Food & wine:
San Daniele DOP ham is an excellence produced only in the defined territory of San Daniele del Friuli and can be paired with wines produced along the Tagliamento river within the DOC Friuli-Grave wine production area.
RECOMMENDED DISH: Snack with San Daniele DOP ham of different aging
I recommend a stop at the panoramic points of Braulins, Palazzo di Sopra in Spilimbergo, Dignano, Camino al Tagliamento, and Latisana.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Attention is advised between San Lorenzo and Casarsa della Delizia during peak hours.
It is preferable to undertake this route during the less sunny hours of summer days. From April to November, the ferry on the Tagliamento river between Bibione and Lignano is active. Here the schedules.
From Gemona del Friuli follow the signs for the Pedemonanta bike path FVG3 towards Trasaghis. After crossing the bridge over the Tagliamento, follow the signs for the Tagliamento bike path FVG6 southwards towards Spilimbergo. Upon reaching Bibione, take the X-River ferry to reach Lignano (ferry active from April to November. Here the schedules). From Lignano Sabbiadoro, cycle along the embankment heading north to Latisana and from there continue towards Varmo, Camino al Tagliamento, Codroipo, Dignano, San Daniele del Friuli, Osoppo, and Gemona del Friuli.
