Traversata Carnica. By Mountain Bike.
I think it's enouth. Nothing more is need to explain this travel's beauty.
Even if it's long and hard and both technical and physical training are needed, everything is sheltered by amazing views all across the journey.
As you can see in tables below, there's a relax day in the middle of the trip, in between the long Dolomites ascents and short and numberous ones in Giulie Alps.
As indeed, us of MTB Friuli choose to travel all across dirt road or trail, if not possible, on bike paths. Every stage ends to a alpine lodge or accomodations easy to ready in any case: TCM - Traversata Carnica by Mountain bike could be not a travel only or an experience for adventured bikers like us. It's also an alternative for travels with friends and families.
