Rifugio Nordio - Maria Schnee below Gozman (via Lom)

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Trbiz / Tarvisio, which is just a few kilometres after the national border on the Italian side of the Rateče border crossing. You can also get to Trbiz/Tarvisio from Austria, where you must first drive to Bialystok/Villach and then cross the Thori-Coccau border crossing to Trbiz/Tarvisio. In Trbiz / Tarvisio, follow the signs for Udine along the old road (not the motorway). Shortly after Trbiz / Tarvisio, you will arrive in the village of Ukve / Ugovizza, where you turn right into the centre of the village. In the middle of the village you come to a stream, where a paved mountain road turns up alongside the stream. Follow this road to a crossroads where you go straight ahead (right), and just after this crossroads you will come to the next crossroads, where you go left. Follow this road, which is mostly asphalted, to the rifugio Nordio hut, where you park in the parking area next to the hut.

Path description:
From the parking lot, take the road to the left, past the dilapidated Nordio hut. The road starts to climb moderately and leads in curves to a place where it is exposed to falling rocks. Caution is needed, despite the net protection placed slightly above the road. It is best to leave this part as quickly as possible. After this, cross the stream and continue climbing northwards to the crossroads. To the right is a direct path to Osternig and we continue straight on along the forest road, which soon after turns into a footpath. The path then leads us to a meadow, which we walk along to the state border. Here we can already see mountain pasture, which is only a few steps away.
From mountain pasture we return to the notice board for the national border and just a few metres above it we find the marked path leading to mountain pasture Bistrica. The branch is marked only with Austrian markings. The trail then goes into the dark forest and at first crosses the slopes almost horizontally before joining the direct trail from the Nordio hut.
The trail then climbs steeply further through the forest. The steepness then eases and the path leads out of the forest and onto the pastures of mountain pasture Bistrica. Then it is a ten-minute walk across a gently sloping meadow to the houses at mountain pasture, which can already be seen ahead.
At mountain pasture you reach a macadam road where you turn right to the signs. Continue along the marked path towards "Goriacher Alm". The path, which is wide and only slightly ascending, will lead you in ten minutes to the Maria Schnee below Gozman Chapel.
Rifugio Nordio - Lom 45 minutes, Lom - mountain pasture Bistrica 45 minutes, mountain pasture Bistrica - Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows 10 minutes.
