Travelling on two wheels
Between Salzburg and Grado, Osoppo is a place to rest and discover Friuli. Hotel Pittis offers a free locked garage for 70 bicycles, tools for minor repairs and breakfast included. Here are three tips to plan your trip.
A good trip leaves room for breaks. When choosing your daily stages, consider distance, elevation, luggage and the time you would like to spend exploring along the way.
Allow some flexibility for weather and unexpected delays. A shorter day can be a chance to visit a town, stop for lunch or simply enjoy the scenery.
Before setting off: check the route and its current conditions.
Think about your return journey as you plan your itinerary. If you intend to use trains, buses or a transfer service, check with the operator how bikes are carried and whether a separate reservation is required.
Check timetables, connections and transport conditions for your type of bike. If you ride an e-bike, also check the conditions for its battery. Keep your return travel details handy.
Before setting off: check bike transport for every leg of your return.
Staying a few nights lets you alternate cycling with a day of sightseeing, without repacking every morning. Osoppo can be your starting point for exploring the area.
Make time for the Fortress, the town and its surroundings, or choose a shorter ride to suit your energy. Taking your time before setting off again is part of the journey.
In your itinerary: leave room for a day without a fixed stage.
