Road to Pra di Lunge normally drivable, path to both summits without issues. Wonderful places with a touch of wilderness, despite markings. Princeska handled the more demanding sections to Cuel Mauron with flying colors, both up and down. Solitary on ascent and both summits, not on descent though, met more than on all this year's trips in the borderland combined  Great outing!

After morning complications with the non-working 24/7 pumps, we finally reached the starting point above the village of Illegio. A bit late, but nevertheless  . The parking lot is great, only the access through the village can be tight due to cars that locals park right next to houses in the narrow streets. Further driving on the road to Pra di Lunge is prohibited for everyone except the authorized. This is announced by a well-visible traffic sign. Some violate it, even a quartet of Slovenes did so, but on the return they got out of the vehicle and looked strangely at the mentioned sign. What exactly happened to them is unknown to me.
We took to the path on foot right from the parking lot and kilometers of asphalt awaited us. Expectations were high and along the originally planned route we would have avoided most of the road on the return. But not everything goes according to plan. The heat and the consequences of the previous day ensured a return in the direction of arrival. No problem, the next day it was better .
To Pra di Lunge we covered a good five kilometers. There we turned right onto path 412, which has this marking all the way to the top. At first it's a forest road, which later turns into a nice trail. It rises gradually for a long time, then shoots steeply upwards. The bonus package is the scorching sun on this part of the path, as the slope faces directly towards it. We felt like we were in a cauldron, and it was only May. According to the sun exposure, there are extensive fields of ticks, which you can't avoid. The path goes directly through them. Despite using repellent and long pants, a few specimens of these invisible beasts found their way to my skin. I'm still scratching today .
Monte Palavierte is a top-notch viewpoint and offers an extensive view far around. The cross is on the adjacent, slightly lower elevation. We were alone at the top, we saw the Slovenes on the neighboring Mauron. We didn't feel like going there, nor anywhere else, so we returned to the starting point via the same path.
Coordinates of the starting point (Illegio): 46.4323931N, 13.0629089E

Interesting. I have the peaks from this topic in a photo taken on Monte Forcelli. But for the middle peak (between the two peaks) I can't find the name. Bagi, do you happen to know which one it would be?

I think these are two peaks. From your point of view, they should be Cuel de la Ceit (larger left one) and Cuel de la Ruviis (smaller right one)

Those two are surely further to the right and not in the picture, thanks anyway.

To the right of Cuel Mauron is Cuel di Fedeveiz (scree peak), the peak in the middle (where there was a fire) has no name or is some kind of subpeak, elevation 1754 m.

Isn't it interesting, such a prominent peak looks like it but has no name, poor thing. After all, the panorama doesn't know it either, nor did I find it on the map. Thanks mary, now the exploration can end .
