Forcella Campidello
Description
The mountain bike tour in Resiutta begins with a fascinating route that rides south along the old railroad line to Venzone. There, the route turns left into Val Venzonassa and follows a mixture of asphalt and gravel roads to the east. The climb to Malga Confin is moderate, although the last hairpin bends are a challenge and require some effort.
From Malga Confin, you can enjoy an impressive panorama that stretches from the Tagliamento river to the foothills of the Alps and Kanin in the background. The subsequent route to Forcella Campidello begins on Sentiero 726 and is easy to pedal in parts, but the last sections have to be pushed. Once you reach the saddle, you are surrounded by striking limestone formations and have a first glimpse of the trail descent ahead.
The descent on Sentiero 726 rides to Ricovero casera Rio Nero and is classified as S2 difficulty, including some challenging hairpin bends. The route still shows prominent points of the old Mulattiera trail. After the Ricovero casera Rio Nero, the route remains relatively constant before Sentiero 703 begins, which is very exposed in places and includes a sliding section. The trail rides above the Rio Nero along rocky hairpin bends and is also rated S2 and S3 in terms of difficulty.
In the lower section of the descent, you will come across some man-made passages that make cycling difficult and the bike has to be pushed from time to time. Finally, the trail joins the 703a, which rides back to Resiutta. This impressive valley floor trail was shortened slightly in 2023 due to the construction of a forest road.

can only share Armin Strussnig's assessment... The CAI 703 trail is peppered with countless counter ascents and chicanes, especially in the lower third, where it runs along the downhill left foot/slope side after crossing the RioNero, which does not come out well in the description above.
I did this tour today and it is very beautiful, but also very special, it is ideal for:
Bikers who like to push their bike uphill and downhill
Bikers who don't mind when hikers give them the bird
Bikers who like to get out of the saddle more than 100 times on a tour
Bikers who like to ride trails where one mistake means death.
Bikers who like to ride over rotten beams
