Variant VI
From the Rifugio Maniago to Erto along the “Sentiero
alpinistico Osvaldo Zandonella”
This is a “crag walk” for experts. There are some tricky stretches on the
rock face, aided by fixed ropes. Fantastic views. The path was created in 1978
by the “Gruppo Amici della Montagna di Onigo di Piave”(Friends of the mountains)
who have also maintained it for years. Some fixed ropes have been replaced
or been put in use again by those assigned by the region for maintenance
and upkeep. The route isn’t difficult, just very rough.
The path is divided into two stretches. The FIRST you can find described
below. The SECOND STRETCH is not recommended as it is much harder and has
had some fixed apparatus removed due to continuous damage from falling rocks
or landslides. They both remain, however, two fantastically beautiful routes.

along the Val Zémola
First Stretch
From the Rifugio Maniago (chart) the path initially goes across
towards the west, then climbs straight up to the north via a steep
gully covered with mugo pines, after which you enter the fine gravely
and solitary cirque south of the Duranno. You cross this, climbing
steeply up until you reach the rock face where there is a bronze
commemorative plaque. Then you go up to the left via a long, wet,
narrow slanted ledge (be careful if there is ice) until reaching a terrace.
From here you walk along a rocky gully and shortly after you are
