From Belluno the route winds through Salce, Villiago and Santa Giustina, alternating cycle paths along the Piave river with quiet secondary roads, on a gentle profile that never presents demanding gradients. After around 36 kilometres you reach Feltre, with its perfectly preserved sixteenth-century old town, an ideal stop along the way. The return to Belluno passes through Busche and Borgo Piave, closing the loop after around 78 kilometres in total. Along the way you’ll find small gems such as Villa Giamosa, the Oratory of San Nicolò with its sixteenth-century triptych, and the old Santa Libera mill.

The route can also be tackled in stages, splitting it over two days with a stop in Feltre, or ridden only in part for a shorter outing along the Valbelluna’s cycle paths.
