Fruili and Slovenia

The northern Italian region of Friuli, besides producing great wine, has been in the center of historical moments, from the Romans through all the dramas of the first and second World Wars.

But besides these interesting features, riding on the Friulian roads, and especially climbing on some very scenic and narrow Passos, full of switchbacks, is going to be a lot of fun during this amazing trip.

To top it, being so close to neighboring Slovenia, we could not cross the border a couple of times and visit the north-western part of this small alpine country. 

With a shared history for centuries, Friuli and Slovenia have a lot in common and at the same time, given the nearly 5o years that both regions were separated by the Iron Wall, they have evolved differently.

We will ride up incredible climbs like: Vrsic, Mangart, Cason de Lanza, Monte Crostis, Forcella di Monte Rest, Pala Barzana, Piancavallo and of course, the most iconic climb in the region, Monte Zoncolan!

To end up this amazing trip, we will spend the last couple of nights in the Prosecco region in Veneto, we thought this will be a good reward after some tough riding.

Accommodation and food on this trip are up to the usual SFIDA Cycling high standard, this is part of the experience of riding with us.

One more thing, if you ever plan to bring your non-rider partner on one of our trips, this is definitely a good one to share! check with us.
