トラザーギスの絶景の山頂・トップ20

• モンテ・サン・シメオーネ山塊の真下には、1976年5月6日に発生した壊滅的な地震の垂直震源がありました。マグニチュード6.5の強力な地殻変動が山を内側から引き裂きました。巨大な揺れによって山腹から数百万トンの岩石が剥がれ落ち、山麓にあるボルダノとヴェンゾーネの町に恐ろしい轟音とともに降り注ぎ、町を瓦礫の山に変えました。この道を走るということは、文字通りヨーロッパの地殻変動の傷跡の上を走っていることになります。

Beautiful view from Monte Campeon; well-deserved reward after the climb

The church sits enthroned on the summit of Monte Buja. The buildings on Monte Buja resemble a small medieval fortress and have evidently been lovingly preserved and restored. Those who enjoy typical Italian mountain villages will find what they're looking for up here. The functioning water station is particularly valuable for cyclists.

Throughout the area there are remains of artifacts from the Great War.

A place that deserves a small detour to enjoy the splendid panorama

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.

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.
