Achomitzer alm

For this tour I chose the 1734m high Achomitzer Alm, which lies on the Italian-Austrian border above Ugovizza. From Tarvisio I ride the bike path to Ugovizza, on the main road in the village just before the bridge I turn right towards the church, where a narrow asphalted road starts climbing. After a good 4 km I reach a small chapel, straight behind it to the bridge and immediately I turn right and then left into the slope. After a good six km I reach the St. Hubertus chapel, where the asphalt ends. To the top there is still 3km of gravel (cart track). At the top beautiful views all around. Some fresh snow too. I ride down the nice gravel road down the slope and after a good four km at the first junction right onto the wide gravel path, ride 0.5km on it and again at the first junction right into Bartolo valley. 6km picturesque valley along which a maintained gravel path leads. When the valley ends we come straight to the bike path we rode at the tour start. I ride to today's tour start. The tour is nice and picturesque, medium hard. The most demanding is the 13 km climb from Ugovizza to the Alm (over 1000m elevation). For this tour I recommend the map (Tabacco 019), lots of side paths and it's easy to stray.

Great tour you did, good that you remembered this. I checked the map where you rode and it looks excellent, I'll remember it for when I'm hanging around those parts.

This year already second time at Zahomska Planina. In not too promising weather I set off on the tour, which in the end proved worthwhile. Start in Tarvisio on bike path to Camporosso (Žabnice), a bit before turn right into Bartolo valley (Vrtinjlogarski graben), to the end of wonderful valley to Bartolo saddle there right towards Achomitzer Alm (Zahomska Planina). Path climbs quite steeply all the way to the 1712m high Alm. Path in very good condition. Views from top quite solid considering how it looked at start. For descent I chose new variant for me on path 508, which turned out great move. Singletrack I can say is fantastic, never ridden such. About 7 km long leads to forest hut Muli then left on 509A, which descends all to Bartolo valley, where it joins gravel path through the valley. Singletrack from hut to valley first part very demanding, very steep but rideable overall. Path smooth and mostly no rocks. Second part less demanding. At end last km again bit more demanding as we hit gravel but path remains rideable. When join gravel road at end ride back to today's tour start.
