Tribil

From Judrio Valley to Varch, Tribil di Sopra and Ponte Clinaz
Distance Level difference Departing from Running Time Country roads Difficulty
17,5 Km 360 m Podclanz 1:30 h 80 % Medium


Actually "Clinaz" tour is not practicable because of the brumble-bushes. This tour is a good option for "Clinaz". Climb to Castelmonte-Drenchia ridge is the same of "Clinaz" but descent is from Tribil di Sopra instead of from Gnidovizza. Country roads are in good conditions and amazing expecially from Tribil di Sopra to Ponte Clinaz.
