Access to starting point:
We drive to the settlement Pontebba (Italy). To here e.g.. from Kranjska Gora and Trbiž / Tarvisio.
In Pontebba we look for turn-off for Lonice / Passo del Cason di Lanza. The turn-off or crossroad is located immediately after the turn-off for Mokrine (Nassfeld or Passo Pramolo) past which we drive in the direction of west (if we come from Slovenia).
Next follows a 16 km long asphalted, narrow and in parts very steep road. Driving to the destination on this road lasts approximately 25 minutes.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk few ten meters on a macadam road towards the yellow building, past which we turn left into the forest (past a bigger iron cross and nearby is turn-off for very demanding path on Zermula 2143 meters). Through thin, mostly larch forest we come to the turn-off for direct path on Zuc della Guardia, which crosses a well. We don't cross the well and we continue towards the saddle Forca di Lanza, 1831 meters.
On the saddle, we go left on grassy slopes towards the summit Monte Pizzul. On this path we can view some ruins from the 1st world war. First, we reach the secondary peak and at the back after few minutes of additional walking also peak.
On the way: Forca di Lanza (1831m)
