Two-day trek suitable for those who want to enjoy the autumn mountains, rich in shades of the sky and vegetation. Two days in Val Zemola, within the Municipality of Erto and Casso and the beautiful Natural Park of the Friulian Dolomites. The protagonists of the trek are the woods and their colors, Mount Duranno (2652 m) always in sight, the former Buscada quarry and the geo-paleontological park, rich in ammonites and history, the roar of the deer during their mating season, and finally, good food!
On the first day, we ascend to the Cava Buscada Refuge via a comfortable dirt road. Most of the backpack weight is left behind as we continue towards the summit of Palazza (2210 m - some short sections require steady footing). In the afternoon, we visit the former quarry and the geo-paleontological park. You will be guests at the Cava Buscada Refuge, an ancient shelter for quarrymen, now restored as a base, where your hosts have personally experienced the stories of those times. The next day, we will complete the full loop of Val Zemola, passing by Casera Bedin de Sora, Maniago Refuge, and Casera Galvana.
