From the small church of Sottomonte di Meduno, we climb to the 1,100 metres of Monte Valinis, in the Carnic Pre-Alps, famous for free flying and mountain running, as it hosts national and international competitions. The route is circular and begins in a dense forest; as we climb, the vegetation tends to thin out, giving way to 360° views of the Friulian Dolomites, the Julian and Carnic Alps, the Adriatic coast and the Veneto-Friuli plain. Packed lunch.
