Monte Festa Fortress

Highlight • Historical Site

The effort of the ascent will be repaid by the panoramas and the fort from the First World War.
Bring food and drinks with you as there are none at the top.

Junction for Monte Festa and Monte San Simeone Ascents

Highlight • Trail

Been on the screen for a long time - repeatedly postponed, made the last few days 🙂 sounds like a recipe that you never dared to make because of the result... Well, the driveway is known to many. We started from Portis and cranked up the southern military road to the plateau with all the holiday homes.

Monument to Ottavio Bottecchia

Highlight • Monument

Ottavio Bottecchia was one of the most famous and successful Italian cyclists between the two world wars. First Italian winner of the Tour de France in 1924, first ever to win the Tour holding the yellow jersey from the first to the last stage, the "bricklayer of Friuli" (nickname that derives from his youthful work, although he was not from Friuli but from Veneto) he participated in only one Giro d'Italia but is commonly remembered among the greatest, like Girardengo and Binda. Here on the road between Peonis and Cornino, where he died during training, a plaque is today placed. To delve deeper into his story, Claudio Gregori's book "Il corno di Orlando" is splendid, while the second season of the podcast "Maglia nera" is dedicated to Bottecchia.

That was probably the most strenuous tour 🫣🏔️🇮🇹🥂ever for me. It wasn't a path, it was a rocky desert😂😂😂. But at the end I was rewarded with a great view. By the way, the way back was just as strenuous 😂😂😂. It was still a lot of fun🍻🍻

This route visits the military posts of the First World War on Monte Festa, reachable both by MTB and on foot; it then follows on a beautiful path along Lake Cavazzo and finally along the Tagliamento River. Almost entirely on mule tracks and paths.
