Monte Lussari
Description
The tour begins in picturesque Valbruna, west of Tarvisio. From here, the route initially heads south on asphalt towards Schwarzbrunn and into Val Saisera. Right from the start, there are impressive views of the Julian Alps, which make the first section of the tour special. After a few meters of rolling with a moderate gradient, turn left and tackle the uphill to Monte Lussari.
The ascent rides along an impressive road with some very steep passages. At the start, you are informed of the times and rules for using the road: There is a ban on transit between 20:00 and 06:00. You work your way up meter by meter, always accompanied by spectacular views of the Julian Alps. Finally, you reach the apex and follow the crossing, which rides along an impressive road structure towards Monte Lussari.
On reaching the highest point of the tour, you will find yourself at a popular excursion destination, which includes several buildings and a pilgrimage church. The gondola lift connection ensures high visitor numbers here, especially at weekends and on public holidays.
The descent begins directly at Monte Lussari and is at difficulty level S2. The trail runs homogeneously through wooded areas with a varied surface of roots, forest floor and earthy passages. The trail offers a pleasant mix of riding fun and technical challenge and leads steadily downhill in this manner. Finally, you return to Valbruna, where the tour comes to an end.

Super trail downhill. Steep and varied. Unlike the ascent, which is super steep and not very varied. At least there are some much-needed cold drinks at the top.
