Monte Zermula and Zuc della Guardia

From Tabla to Studeno Basso and to Lonice pass (Cason di Lanza). Recommend caution while driving, as there are some pretty deep ruts and potholes on the road here and there, otherwise fully asphalt. From the pass we turn onto the marked path before the abandoned barracks right up into the larch forest and follow the marks which bring us in a good 45 minutes under the
"north wall" to the start of the ferrata of the friends of the mountains. There we equip ourselves with climbing harness, self-belay and helmet just like the other four (one is an acquaintance mountain rescuer from Forni Avoltri). The ferrata is fun and just right varied, shame it's a bit short. It ends on the upper mulatiera by which we go to the summit, where we sit enjoying the beautiful Carnic views and marmots which are a bit lower. From the summit we then go along the upper path past numerous caverns and remains of military fortifications. The trail is nice and offers great views in all directions, also to the western Julian Alps. Below we catch the path again and under Monte Pizzulo along the former shooting trench, where the arranged path goes under the SW foot of Zuc della Guardia, there we observe marmots again, which are quite tame and climb up the ferrata to the summit, and on the NW side, which is much easier down and back to Lonice pass. There of course follows a well-deserved yellow drink and viewing pictures in the hut, which are just as attractive as our just completed tour. From the pass we drive west to Paularo and Na Bilo for roast chicken.

Nice ferratka. I'll try it when s5 I come to your parts, and we probably meet so we can go together for a "yellow drink" and say something about the beautiful Karnics.

Today I wandered around these parts too, without Zuc, just to Zermula. Very nice places, very nice tour. Ferrata is occasionally quite spicy, but very nice, made in Italian style: almost no bolts (only in a few places during renovation they left old bolts from the cable in the wall, which can now also serve as step bolts), cable non-stop but quite loose. Otherwise the path is secured ok, I have only two minor remarks: first, distances between cable anchors are occasionally really excessive (even 10 meters), on harder sections usually shorter, but even between "easier" spots there's some nasty. And second, on some easier sections ridiculously thin cable is used, which I could call blister wire. Really not pleasant to use. But these are just little things that can't spoil the nice ferrata on nice passages and very good rock. Summit unfortunately in clouds, descent on mulatiera without any issues.
At the end a beer in the hut (still open, surely for the weekend too), where I got into conversation with an alpinist from old Gorica, the waitress mentioned that the hut keeper told her abundant snow is coming from Monday to Wednesday, down to 1300m. So question how it will be this year in these areas with the snow-free season. Anyway I'll return up here for sure, Zuc is left for me, and on the north side something will be found (Creta di Aip etc.).
No pics though, forgot the camera at home. Happens.

It is more logical to go from Zermula first to M. Pizzul, then to Zuc. The paths are exemplarily marked and it is hard to miss  .

Lonice - ferr. Zermula - along war trenches Trincea - ferr. degli Alpini - Lonice. Regarding protections everything is as it should be.

Maybe someone knows the trench path - Via delle trincee, described on the page http://www.itinerarigrandeguerra.it/code/33492/Pespot-na-hribu-Monte-Zermula ? It's an unmarked path that branches off soon above Forca di Lanza saddle straight towards Zermula and apparently later passes quite a few military positions from the Great War. How is its passability, difficulty, orientation, can the main summit be reached via it without major issues?

A couple of years ago we descended from Zermula summit as part of this path. I don't remember it very well anymore, but I know one part of the path is marked. Since I'm also interested in various tunnels and ruins, I wandered a bit on my own. Some shooting trenches are well preserved, but of course a lot is also ruined. Somewhere I even spotted some faded red dots, but I couldn't explore because my mates were already impatient. There you could hike a lot more in the "unmarked pathless" framework, but towards NE it's quite steep, exposed and precipitous.

Could we get someone to post descriptions of both paths here on hribi.net?

I've already thought about it, but sadly no pics. If you're interested in something, just ask.

oh, I'd be interested in the description too. Possible to get at least description to the start and path description even without pics? regards
