Description:
13-07-2022: Route Km 7.600, Elevation gain Mt. 750. Follow a white track near a bridge (303 m). Following the track and red markers, at the first junction keep right entering a black pine thicket. With minimal gradient climb up the edge of the wide inclined cone descending from the flanks of the Amariana. Brushing a wide gully enter inside an old rusty fence where we find the main junction of our loop: right branches off the Troi di Martin, which we will use for ascent and descent. Here begins the real climb with the path diagonally crossing a small rocky hollow. With a series of switchbacks climb up now an inclined ramp soon meeting a panoramic point with bench, overlooking the gravel fan and the network of tracks. The ascent continues steadily through the sparse wood that now reveals more clearly the signs of the fire a few years ago. Finally a sign on the right indicates the short detour to visit the natural belvedere at 768 m, a kind of hanging meadow above the Tagliamento valley: an exceptional pulpit inviting a prolonged stop. Back on track resume climbing crossing an area characterized by almost total skeletal trunks. After a few turns the slope steepens and with it our path that now tackles the steepest and most demanding part of the ascent. In this way climb up two successive plateaus where one can catch breath then, reaching the summit area, the path shifts left traversing the flank. Regaining the ridge definitively, find oneself walking on a kind of natural corridor, bounded on the left by beeches and on the right by some majestic black pines. Approaching the impressive bulk of the Amariana, the ridge narrows more and more (attention to a short passage). A few more meters and we are at the highest point of Monte Amarianutte (1083 m, cross, summit logbook) where the ridge abruptly ends above a precipice. The position of this tiny spur offers an unmatched view of the Amariana slopes that from here we can admire in all its imposingness. Getting up here was undoubtedly tiring, but the satisfaction and beauty of the panorama have amply repaid all the effort of the climb.
