    Passo Tanamea, nestled among the majestic peaks of Monte Musi, is a true natural and historical gem of Friuli. This pass not only offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valley but also represents an important crossroads for nature and history enthusiasts.

    Through its trails, hikers can immerse themselves in a wild and unspoiled environment, characterized by a diverse flora and fauna that deserve to be explored and preserved. The absence of urban settlements allows for an authentic experience, far from the noise and hectic pace of modern life.

    From a historical point of view, the site holds important memories of the two world wars. The trenches and small forts scattered along the trails tell stories of battles and men, making the hike not only a physical activity but also a journey through time and memory.

    In summary, this hike is an interesting destination for those seeking direct contact with nature, but also an opportunity to reflect on the history that has shaped these lands.

    Author’s recommendation

    At the ANA Monteaperta hut, currently unmanaged, it is possible to stay overnight independently if you want to split the hike into two stages.

    Directions

    To reach Tarcento, you can take state road no. 356 or, alternatively, turn right off state road no. 13 Pontebbana, at Tricesimo. Once you reach the town center, continue right passing the bridge over the Torre river, then turn left onto state road no. 646, which leads along the upper Torre valley. The road winds through the valley, making a wide curve eastward to follow the course of the Mea stream. Continue until you reach the pass of Passo Tanamea, where there is a large clearing on the right at an altitude of 851 meters, ideal for parking.

    Parking

    Small parking lot near the former bar at Passo Tanamea.
