The Valcanale & Predil Pass Ride — Tarvisio to the border lake

From Tarvisio the SS13 runs the valley west past Camporosso, where the Lussari gondola climbs to the sanctuary village; the cycle path alongside follows the old Pontebbana railway bed. At Coccaiu the road to Fusine drops two kilometres to the lakes circuit — worth the detour for the Mangart view. Back on the main road, the SP76 turns south at Cave del Predil for the lake: swim or pedal boats, then the mine museum underground. Beyond the village the pass road climbs in easy bends to Predil’s 1,156 m col and the Slovene border. Fuel in Tarvisio only; the valley villages have cafés but no pumps. Bora can blow cold down the Valcanale in winter — check before riding the high sections.
