ソッキエーヴェのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

Sella Chianzutan is a pass in the Carnic Prealps at around 950 meters above sea level. It can be reached from both San Francesco and Tolmezzo: the latter is the toughest side, although the gradients rarely exceed 10%. Between 2010 and 2020, it was tackled three times by the Giro d'Italia: the first to pass through here were Ludovic Turpin, Sebastian Henao and Giovanni Visconti.

A wonderful place that invites you to linger. On one side, there are views of a breathtaking plateau with ponds whose water level changes depending on the season. From the saddleback, there are breathtaking views in all directions and into the valley towards Sauris di Sopra.

Beautifully stylish mountain village where you can feel at home. You come in and feel peace and security in the protection of the mountains surrounding the village. A walk through the village is worthwhile... coming from the city, it feels a little like a journey to another time.

Never too steep or busy the Sella Chianzutan rewards cyclists with a nice view at the top. Most of the climb coming from Tolmezzo is spent in the forest, which means few views on the surrounding mountains but also cooling shade. The descent towards Pozzis (and further to San Francesco) allows for incredible speeds!

A beautiful route, little traffic.

I particularly liked this climb.

Stop, fill your water bottles and set off again.

At the top of the "Sella Chianzutan" pass there is a real sculpture park that invites you to linger and look at art. You can also see relics from past snowy winters of the former ski area.
