Amariana

Amariana, in this period it's really nice, full of diverse flowers. I started early from Amaro village, sprayed myself against ticks, turned to trail 414, climbed to Cristo di Forca pass at 1058 m. Then the trail continues through forest, on grassy slopes. In the last part there's an easier via ferrata, climbing path leading to the summit where there's a statue of Mary with a bell. Alone to the top, on the way back I met one couple and two men heading to the summit. To avoid possible ticks, at the junction I chose return on the asphalt road. For the whole tour with stops I needed 7.5 hours and did about 1500 m elevation gain. Good conditioning! Very diverse and panoramic mountain.

I tackled the crossing of the mountain along the southwest ridge. Start is east of Tolmezzo. On the local road to Amaro I park before the tunnel or bridge (road closed further). Start on path 462 towards M. Amarianute. Initially flat over scree, then steeply into forest, path is undemanding and well marked. Summit is nice viewpoint (to here 2 hours). A bit before summit follows descent on eastern slope of the mountain and lower to notch, then over scree to start of "Mario Dalla Marta" path. Path leads over several edges, exposed traverses (protected) and then steeply up to ridge, follows some easy climbing (I), all the way steeply up along or on ridge, avoiding harder parts. I'd mark the path as demanding but not very demanding, excellently marked with red dots, no signposts for this path. In last part steep ascent on grass to pre-summit, where we join marked path 443 from north, summit is close. To summit at least 5 hours strenuous walking. Descent on path 414 to Forca del Cristo saddle, there right to asphalt road. Along it some hundred meters, when it turns to gravel at bend, which later gets more overgrown with grass. Follow road to house (farm building), where it ends (from saddle couple km, without any marks or pointers). From house on marked pathlet to valley. Path is quite overgrown but well followable, brings me exactly to start (no marks there). Traverse reminds me quite of Loška stena, but here much easier. A bit about start: from main road turn to Tolmezzo, then at first roundabout right (zona industriale), straight to end of road, where we reach local road to Amaro, here right and after ca 2 km to bridge or tunnel, where on right larger parking.

already in the forest - view towards Tolmezzo

a little below the summit the path branches off downwards, the junction is poorly visible

the continuation runs to the right along the ridge

view back towards M. Amarianute, the path runs left

start of the path Sentiero alpinistico Mario Dalla Marta

finally the summit is visible, to the right is the fore-summit, here the path from the north joins

view from the summit is misty - sharski pesek

macadam increasingly overgrown with grass - this one is mown

the road ends at this house (Stavoli Lisagno di sotto)

the path leads exactly to the parking lot at the starting point

Today from Cristo di Forca saddle on path 414 to Amariana summit. Path is well trodden and nicely maintained. Looks like they even mow the grass along the trail. In upper part the cables in the gully below the ridge are renewed and all fine. No more snow on path. To the ridge it was quite warm for this time of year, in summer must burn well over those grasses above tree line... velik nasmeh

. Luckily little visitors today (only 4 cars). Otherwise meeting on narrow road can be quite “work”.
Views from summit … phenomenal with Creta Grauzaria and Monte Sernio in foreground and Julian Alps in background.
Short but nice tour.
