Meledis Alta Alm

The malga is open during the intermediate pasturing period, while its managers carry out their initial and final pasturing period activities in malga Meledis Bassa. Visitors can observe Austrian trenches from the Great War on the Puartis Valley Peak, slightly above the shelter. On July 15th 1944, while exploring the north-eastern Carnia mountains, German soldiers killed a few shepherds on the Lanza and Cordin malga. These victims are celebrated by a memorial stone featuring the words “peace for the fallen ones – aid to themselves”, located on the path leading from Paularo to Cason di Lanza via the Ramaz Shelter. From the shelter, you can reach the Upper Lodin malghe (on Cai trail n. 448B), or choose to turn right and cross the Malinfier brook, reach the Meledis pass and descend towards malga Straniger, in Austria.
