La AleGra - Monte Musi (western peak)

Access to starting point:
From the road Kobarid – Bovec in the village Žaga we turn towards the border crossing Učja. At the crossroad where the road branches off to the right towards the saddle Karnica and Rezija, we continue left or straight in the direction of the settlement Videm/Udine. The road then runs through the mountain pass Na Meja / Tanamea. Then we follow the road to the signpost for Agriturismo La Alegra. At the sign, we turn right onto a macadam road. At the very beginning of the mentioned road, on the left side, there is a small parking lot and mountain signposts. We can park here or continue along the macadam road for another good hundred meters where there is also some space for parking.

Path description:
From the first parking lot we continue on a gently sloping macadam road which crosses the torrent deposits of the stream Mea. Here a footpath soon branches off to the right towards the cottage Plan dei Ciclamini. We continue along the road to the sign that prohibits further driving. We continue on the macadam road, quickly reaching the well-maintained tourist farm La Alegra, where there are many various domestic animals.
At the tourist farm, we take a footpath and cross a fence. The path leads us into the forest, soon turning slightly to the left and crossing the stream Rio Tapotanor. The path then leads to a crossing where we continue right on path 737 towards Monte Musi and the bivouac Brollo. To the left, the path leads towards the village Mužac.
From the crossing, the path begins to ascend more steeply and passes a climbing area. The path continues to climb steeply, mostly through the forest, crossing several small gullies, with occasional views opening up, mainly towards the south. The path then leads to the slopes on the western side of the peak Tamar, guiding us high above the deep gully of the stream Rio Zalodra. Occasionally, the path is slightly exposed, and on a short section, a steel cable provides assistance. In this section, the path slightly descends and crosses the aforementioned stream.
The path continues to ascend relatively steeply for quite some time. The slopes we are ascending are steep, so occasional caution is still needed. The path alternates between running through the forest and across a grassy slope. Higher up, the path leads from the forest onto a slope more covered with dwarf pines. Here, a view opens up towards the north, where the Muzci ridge is clearly visible. A short ascent follows to a crossing near the bivouac Brollo.
At the crossing, we continue left and, after a short ascent, reach the panoramic peak Monte Ruscie, beside which the aforementioned bivouac is located.
From the bivouac, we return to the mentioned crossing below the bivouac and continue in the direction of Vrh Muzcev (Monte Musi). From the crossing, we continue along the ridge, initially through dwarf pines and then along a grassy ridge. Such a path leads us to steeper slopes on the southern side of the peak, where the secured path begins. The use of self-belaying equipment and a helmet is also highly recommended.
The secured path ascends quite steeply along a partly rocky and partly grassy slope. Along the way, there are also a few shorter exposed crossings. Higher up, where the secured path ends, we reach a crossing where a path branches off to the right, leading along the ridge towards the eastern summit, but we continue left and, after a short ascent over rocky terrain, reach the western peak, where an inscription box is also located.
We can descend via the ascent route or continue along a slightly more demanding path towards the saddle Karnica (Sella Carnizza).
