The Julia Lighthouse on Bernadia can be reached by climbing from the Sedilis side or from the Villanova delle Grotte side. Both climbs are pleasant: the first is more busy (and with the last stretch of the road surface a little ruined), the second wild and less demanding. To reach Sedilis there are many and varied paths while to get to Villanova delle Grotte you can get there either from Monteaperta or from Chialminis (but also from the upper Val del Torre if you want to create a longer variant). Of course the view from up there is wonderful in any season and in any weather (personally, even the fog and clouds seen from above have their charm ...).

Monte Bernadia and Julia Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Remarkable panoramic point as well as being an "obligatory" destination for those who want to tackle beautiful climbs (both from Sedilis and Villanova delle Grotte).

Madonna del Pas

Enjoy the view and a pause in tough climbing. It is getting a bit easier towards the top.

View of Sedilis and the Bell Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Coming from Nimis, the steeper road climbs to the foot of the bell tower after a steep 12% gradient. There is room to put the bike down and admire the landscape before diving towards Tarcento. Perhaps even more beautiful on a nice winter day.
