MOGGIO-RESIUTTA-CHIUSAFORTE

Tired of the usual Easter Monday? Try to offer your friends a wonderful day in the mountains riding along the Alpe Adria cycle path. We suggest a 13 km route suitable for all ages, without too much altitude and with pauses that always give us a lot of charge. Exit the motorway at Gemona and continue on the SS13 towards Moggio. As soon as you arrive in the village, always on the main road turn into the first road on the right and you can leave the cars in a large open space. Climbed on your bicycles, you can ride right away on the Alpe Adria that retraces the old railway line. Attention on this initial stretch there are two tunnels where the light does not work from time to time, it is really dark to have light bulbs. When you cross the river to Resiutta turn right and continue for a couple of kilometers until you reach the bridge and turn right again until Povici di Sotto. Here you can stop for a picnic on the river or near the playground, if you go in the summer you will have fun diving from the rock after the bridge, the water is beautiful and frozen. When you are ready to continue return to the main cycle path and after a few meters you will find an ice cream parlor where you can stop even when you return, the ice creams are excellent. Continue for 7 km and you will reach the old Chiusaforte railway equipped with tables and deckchairs to enjoy the view, have the equipment to adjust your bicycles or if you want you can rent them here and do the reverse ride. They can equip themselves with child seats, helmets and bikes, they are open every day from spring to autumn and can provide dinner upon reservation. The number to check all availability is 0433-52344. Continue your trip for a few hundred meters and you will find the old bridge where surely your kids will want to ride. If you organize this trip later and it falls on a Monday before arriving, stop at the weekly market in Tolmezzo to take the picnic items. You absolutely have to go for the stalls of typical Austrian products (we suggest to taste the sausage and potato salad) and under the arcades you will find the food with super friendly staff who will advise you on the cheeses of the Carnic mountain pastures (against any diet if you find try the gorgonzola with walnuts).
