The twin races of the Granfondo Carnia Classic Fuji-Zoncolan in Italy and the Mt. Fuji Hillclimb in Japan were a practical manifestation of this partnership. This enabled the creation of a unique, bicontinental destination for amateurs, where they tackled the extreme intensity and gradients of Monte Zoncolan on the one hand, and the long, endurance climb of Majestic Fuji on the other, gaining global recognition for conquering the iconic 1,200-meter vertical drop on both sides of the globe.

The main reason for the partnership is the similar elevation gain experienced by cyclists on both routes. The climb to Zoncolan from Ovaro requires approximately 1,210 meters of elevation gain. Similarly, the popular Subaru Toll Road leading to Mount Fuji requires approximately 1,250 meters of elevation gain. However, the difference in scale is important: Zoncolan is extremely concentrated (about 10 km of very challenging climbing – at one point, you're climbing a 22% gradient), while the climb to Fuji is long and gentle (about 25 km, with an average gradient of 5%). The partnership focused on the vertical gain.

The "Zoncolan Mt. Fuji" sign at the wooden starting arch in Ovaro symbolizes the international twin-mountain partnership, initiated around 2015 to promote cycling tourism in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. The Italian province of Carnia and the Japanese prefecture of Shizuoka have announced an official gemellaggio, linking the iconic Alpine mountain of Zoncolan with Japan's majestic sacred Mount Fuji.
