Tips from the Community
Sella Chianzutan is a pass in the Carnic Prealps at around 950 meters above sea level. It can be reached from both San Francesco and Tolmezzo: the latter is the toughest side, although the gradients rarely exceed 10%. Between 2010 and 2020, it was tackled three times by the Giro d'Italia: the first to pass through here were Ludovic Turpin, Sebastian Henao and Giovanni Visconti.

Never too steep or busy the Sella Chianzutan rewards cyclists with a nice view at the top. Most of the climb coming from Tolmezzo is spent in the forest, which means few views on the surrounding mountains but also cooling shade. The descent towards Pozzis (and further to San Francesco) allows for incredible speeds!

At the top of the "Sella Chianzutan" pass there is a real sculpture park that invites you to linger and look at art. You can also see relics from past snowy winters of the former ski area.

A peak from which you can observe a wonderful view of the Carnic Alps.

Now that they've reopened the bar, it's worth at least one ride a year. The climb isn't very hard, and as the following video shows (from minute 4.00 onwards) it's doable even in winter. I took a bit too much risk on the subsequent descent towards Verzegnis. Next time I'll bring some cable ties to wrap around the tires to increase grip. https://youtu.be/knZ6s1dfL4c
