It is reached by an old, narrow military road, in some sections without a guardrail: for this reason, it is recommended to tackle it only if you are accustomed to driving in the mountains and, ideally, with a car that is not too large.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          Once parked at Malga Poccet, you start to gradually climb towards the Forcella del Clap Jovel, at an altitude of 1817 metres. These are the first 500 metres of positive altitude gain, on a dirt road and a very easy path.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          Upon reaching the fork, around km 2.8, you enter a section that corresponds, in the opposite direction, to part of the race route towards Monte Schenone. The loop does not include climbing to the summit, but we strongly recommend adding it: it involves approximately 100 metres of extra elevation gain, up to an altitude of 1949 metres, rewarded by a splendid view of the Montasio group, Monte Manca, J\u00f4f di Dogna, and the Julian Alps.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          From the top, you retrace your steps along the same short stretch, before descending into a very steep grassy gully, which will actually be tackled uphill during the race. You then arrive at a fork leading to a war tunnel, not included in the race route, and continue along a traverse lower than the one taken on the way out: a stretch across wide meadows, very scenic and truly evocative.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          Towards the end of the amphitheatre between Clap Jovel and Monte Schenone, you enter an area of mountain pines. The path is passable, although in some places the vegetation is encroaching and a clean-up of the trail would be useful, which will probably be carried out in view of future editions. It is not, however, an impassable stretch: you just need to be careful of the branches.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"aaut-note aaut-warning\">\n          <strong>Basic GPS track.<\/strong><br>\n          In this area, there is a lower path leading towards Chiout, but it will not be used in the race as it presents some critical issues further on. Instead, you must continue on level ground and then slightly uphill, following the track, until you reach a path that would take you back to Forcella del Clap Jovel.\n        <\/div>\n\n        <p>\n          At this point, you need to watch out for the turn-off to the right, which leads down through meadows and woodland. It is not a dangerous section, but it is not always obvious: the descent is quite steep, almost vertical, down to Sella Bieliga. Here, trail GPS is essential.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          From the Bieliga Saddle, a beautiful unpaved forest road is taken, in the opposite direction to the race, until Malga San Leopoldo is reached. Here there is a closed fountain covered with sheet metal, but a little further up there is a usable spring: we tested it directly and it will be an important point for water supply during the race as well.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          You then continue along the dirt road until you return to Malga Poccet.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <section class=\"aaut-photo-section\" aria-label=\"Photos of the Monte Schenone ring\">\n          <h3>Photos from the route<\/h3>\n          <p>Some sections of the Monte Schenone \u2013 Lipnik ring and the water points connected to the new competition logic.<\/p>\n\n          <div class=\"aaut-photo-grid\">\n            <figure class=\"aaut-photo-card\">\n              <img src=\"https:\/\/www.alpeadriaultra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AlpeAdriaUltra-Prova26-0004.jpg\" alt=\"Vista dalla cima lungo il tratto tra il km 2 e il km 3 dell\u2019anello del Monte Schenone\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n              <figcaption><strong>Kilometre 2\u20133<\/strong> View from the summit along the Monte Schenone ring.<\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n\n            <figure class=\"aaut-photo-card\">\n              <img src=\"https:\/\/www.alpeadriaultra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AlpeAdriaUltra-Prova26-0005.jpg\" alt=\"Discesa sotto il Monte Schenone intorno al chilometro 3,5\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n              <figcaption><strong>3.5 km<\/strong> Descent below Mount Schenone.<\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n\n            <figure class=\"aaut-photo-card\">\n              <img src=\"https:\/\/www.alpeadriaultra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5764-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Malga San Leopoldo lungo l\u2019anello del Monte Schenone\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n              <figcaption><strong>Malga San Leopoldo<\/strong> The abandoned mountain pasture along the forest road.<\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n\n            <figure class=\"aaut-photo-card\">\n              <img src=\"https:\/\/www.alpeadriaultra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5765-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Fonte della Malga San Leopoldo, punto acqua del percorso\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n              <figcaption><strong>Water point<\/strong> The spring of Malga San Leopoldo.<\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n\n            <figure class=\"aaut-photo-card\">\n              <img src=\"https:\/\/www.alpeadriaultra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AlpeAdriaUltra-Prova26-0001.jpg\" alt=\"Rio Montasio, punto acqua nella parte finale del percorso\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n              <figcaption><strong>Montasio cheese<\/strong> Water point at the end of the route.<\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n        <h3>Water management on the race track<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"aaut-timeline\">\n          <div class=\"aaut-step\">\n            <div class=\"aaut-step-km\">1.3 km<small>+242 m<\/small><\/div>\n            <div>\n              <h3>Chou-en Lai<\/h3>\n              <p>First water point almost immediately after starting.

It therefore remains a challenging training loop, to be approached with caution.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          The climb is very intense: in about 4 km, you gain 1132 metres of elevation.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          Once you reach Forcella Mincigos, leave the race route and start descending to the left, entering the woods. The first section of the descent is poorly marked, so it is essential to follow trail GPS carefully.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          The descent takes you through a wonderful beech forest and offers one of the most beautiful sections of the loop: about 2 km of runnable downhill path, easy, very pleasant and surprisingly smooth. It's a somewhat neglected trail, but still very walkable, truly beautiful to rediscover and run.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          Continuing downhill, you reach Mincigos, an isolated and very picturesque village, with old cable cars and abandoned or renovated houses at the foot of Clap Forat.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          From here begins a stretch of about 1 km along a less well-defined path.
