The Predil Pass is part of every tour that takes place in the border triangle of Italy, Slovenia and Austria. As part of the Alpine Marathon, we – the team from SnapShortFilm, commissioned by motomovie.de – have already ridden the pass towards Lake Predil (Italy) several times. And sometimes back again to film.
The Predil Pass is not one of the more spectacular passes, but its views and history are much more fascinating. There are several positions, forts and a bunker on both sides of the pass, demonstrating the strategic importance of the Predil Pass.
The route on the western side is quite winding, the roads are wide and the tarmac is excellent. Heading west, the route continues over the Passo Nevea, past Lake Predil or onto the Nassfeld Pass.
Heading east towards Slovenia, the Mangart and then the Vrsic-Pass are first on the route. The Predil Pass will once again be a central element of the Alpine Marathon 2023.
Anyone who would like to take part in an Alpine Marathon – as a guided tour or self-guided tour – can check the Harrys Bike Tours website to see if the dates and conditions are suitable. Regardless of this, one thing is certain for us: riding over 50 passes in 7 days through 6 Alpine countries is great fun. Especially in small groups and with the right supporting programme.
