Giro dei funamboli
Such an easy, single-trail cycle itinerary stretching through the Alps for a total of 6 km is truly unique.
Giro dei Funamboli, i.e. High-wire Tour, is definitely the right definition for this amazing new tour in Valle del Chiese, running through the enchanting and secluded forest that lies between the two mountain passes Passo Giovo and Passo di Rango, and the charming mountain-top church devoted to Saint Lawrence, named “Chiesa di San Lorenzo”. Such an easy, single-trail cycle itinerary stretching through the Alps for a total of 6 km is truly unique. We chose to call it High-wire Tour because of the size of the cycle path: throughout the entire itinerary, and especially on the stretch between Passo di Rango and Passo Giovo, the track is so narrow that your front wheel seems to move on a thin rope emerging from high grass. This track is smooth and obstacle-free, thus offering a perfect cycling experience. If you suffer from a fear of height, however, this tour is not recommended: there are stretches of trail running alongside very steep slopes of meadows or wood, which require a good level of control over your handlebars.
