The route starts in the center of San Vito, in the square behind the parish church.
Take the Dolomites cycle path towards Borca, leaving it after just 500 meters to cross the main road and proceed downhill along Via San Marco, following the sign indicating "Serdes". After crossing the bridge, there is a short uphill stretch on the left, which we follow for about 400 metres until we turn left into Via Villanova.
Now descend to the right, crossing a spectacular clearing from which to admire the Antelao on one side of the valley and the Pelmo on the other. Continue downhill for over a kilometre to the hamlet of Villanova in the municipality of Borca. We pass via Olivo Sala and, having reached a junction near the Hotel Villa Ines, we turn left, comforted by a sign indicating the “Strada Regia”.
We pass the village of Borca, leaving the church of SS. Simone and Giuda Taddeo on our right, passing by the church of S. Rocco, until we reach the Antelao Hotel. We now flank the state road for a few stretches. We have covered about 6 kilometres so far. It is time to leave the asphalt. The first few metres of dirt track begin near a barn.
Further on a depression requires you to get off your bike, a short descent on foot, and then climb up for about fifty metres on the opposite side to get back on your bike on a meadow where the route is once again clearly visible. You then pedal under a pylon, leaving an isolated house on your left. The trail becomes more uncertain for a few dozen meters before becoming visible again in the meadow next to the road.
Shortly before reaching the village of Vodo the route narrows, so it is prudent for the less experienced or the very young to walk along it. The asphalt road and a floral nursery on the right welcome us to Vodo, a village that we enter as far as the main square where there is a large sign with the route of the “Antica Strada Regia”. Once past the church, the itinerary, which is well signposted, continues along a pleasant grassy road to Peaio. The crucifix and the bench along the path should be left to the right.
Then again a bridge and the little church in the village (the signs for the Strada Regia are always clearly visible). The next stretch of dirt road is very pleasant. We again enter the undergrowth and, having reached the fork, we keep to the right. A modern bridge allows us to cross the Ru Vinian stream and to continue the route on a slight slope through the wood (due to the numerous roots that emerge from the ground, we advise you to proceed with the utmost caution and at low speed).
This very spectacular stretch ends when it crosses the carriageway that links Cibiana with Venas di Cadore. Once on the asphalt road we climb for 900 metres until we come to the junction with the Lunga via delle Dolomiti. Having turned left onto the cycle path, a comfortable return to San Vito awaits us.
