Next day (24.04.2011) we drove to Paluzza-Naunina along a road that, the higher you go, looks less and less like a road for steel horses , so at the first chance we parked and continued on foot on path no. 405. First it climbs to M.Paularo and then straight along the ridge to M.Dimon. Fun fact about both peaks is that both are 2043m high. We returned on a path that joins the road, then again off-trail to some saddle, where we took time for looong martinic and sunbathing. Path is easy despite snow, undemanding and offers wonderful views all around. In Bunker obligatory chat for next day...

Hello maja, I'm an expert on the First World War both on our Soča, Italian, as well as western and eastern fronts, the war in the Carnics happened between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies from year 15 to year 18, the Carnic Alps were then part of the Italian front which stretched quite far into the Dolomites and Tyrol, the shooting trenches are still a visible sign of what happened to the soldiers who suffered and died in clouds of grenade explosions and machine gun bursts, countless thousands of Italian soldiers fell because they were of course more numerous and many Austrians, but with a smaller number of victims because there were far fewer of them.

As far as I know Italy was initially neutral in WWI and would have stayed so if the Allies hadn't promised them a lot of Austro-Hungarian territory if they attack it i.e. help weaken it with an additional front.
They really got those territories after the war including South Tyrol, Istria, Rijeka and Slovenian territory up to the Rapallo border. We got part of these territories back after WWII, but part (Trieste and Gorizia area which were never Italian but under Austria-Hungary) unfortunately stayed under Italy forever. Austrians also lost South Tyrol forever.

The front line during the 1st World War between the two monarchies mainly followed the borders of today's Italian province Trentino-Alto Adige (from Swiss border) over Marmolada, Falzarego pass, behind Three Peaks to Monte Croce di Comelico pass. What MajaO asks; that's the Carnic Alps where the front line and border between states practically didn't change at all. On this part of the front except in the 6th battle in Val Sugana there weren't such fierce fights throughout the war as on the Soča front. Why is understandable if you look at the terrain configuration. For example on ascent to Monte Cevedale (Zufallspitze) in Ortler group where "fights" happened highest, at Cassati hut (3269m) still visible full of barbed wire, the Three Guns point with remains of three cannons is even higher. How they were supposed to "fight" there I don't quite understand.

A huge number of soldiers fell, also counting diseases and avalanches in winter that took many victims too, consequently quite a significant number. Mainly Italians won on paper with other Entente allies, but it was just about desire for territorial expansion as allies promised them, they weren't prepared for total war, so to speak the command was worthless from bottom to top in strategic view, Austrian better organized and tactically superior, not everything is in numbers, everything is in organization

Has anyone visited these parts in the last week? Interested in road drivability to Valdajer and new snow depth if any fell. Know where that local inn is that charmed MajoO with old photos?

Yesterday's day was a real one, though the decision fell only mid-morning, so I started hiking only at noon.
The snow on the ascent and return was the same - rotten.
A year ago from Monte Amariana I gazed at the hills towards the north, crisscrossed with WWI paths.
Monte Tersadia was the first I visited last week.
Monte Dimon yesterday, continuation.
Monte Terzo, I hope, follows.

Though the sun had already well illuminated the peaks of C d Timav and Cogliansa, we parked in the shade at the Pramosio pasture. We started on trail 404 towards M Paularo; slopes first bushy, higher mostly grassy. Interestingly, we still found blueberries on the ridge between the peaks - although according to the date towards the end of shelf life  . On the return from Dimon, at Fontanafreda saddle we turned right, past Crete d mezzodi peak crossed to 407 and past the closed Morgante hut back to the pasture.
Nice day with views to shout about, temp at 2000 around +15. If you try hard and sit in permanent shade, there's snow up to your ..

Monte Dimon
On Saturday we first drove towards Paluzzi, then right towards the small village Ligosullo and then left towards Castel Valdaier. The road is asphalted and clean. The area is not as heavily visited as e.g. Cima Bella and Monte Cocco. Two hours of easy ascent and you are completely in another dimension surrounded by Carnic and Julian peaks. Above all, such ascents relieve you, free you from useless burdens that we almost unknowingly collect in daily life. This time the conditions were ideal and the ski descent pleasant, although of course short.

Sunday, 19.8.2018
To end vacation princess took me on fine trip to peaks we knew but not from this side. Pramoiso pasture empty in morning and on way to Dimon summit we were alone. Only at Paularo sheep grazing, below it dog barking muffled at road end. From Dimon descended to lake, went almost around it then past casera Montelago up to Paularo. There company both human and doggy and show sheep put on bleating loudly moving from one end of slope to other. When back to Pramosio parking bursting with cars and terrace of inn black with people, quenched thirst at nearby well. Thanked princess for nice trip which I'll repeat sometime in winter. Upper pasture has bivouac and above Avostanis, so two-day ski tour here could be attractive. Wonderful day
