A route combining interesting natural and human aspects.
The start is at the pass of Sella Chianzutan, between Val Tagliamento and Val Arzino. The ascent climbs the wooded slopes of Colle dei Larici near the path of the old cable car used to bring down the blocks of precious red marble from Verzenignis from the upper quarry.
Having reached the nearby summit at about 1779m, return on the same path to descend to the saddle between Colle dei Larici and Lovinzola. The nearby quarry is worth a visit.
The loop closes by passing through the tunnel on the quarry service road along CAI path 809 leading back to Sella Chianzutan descending the southern slope of the mountain. A short detour to the Presoldon shelter is recommended, a structure always open as a bivouac offering a remarkable panoramic viewpoint.
Author’s recommendation
It is possible to avoid the summit by using the short tunnel near the cable car; this way you reach directly the service road to the quarry.
