The trail first leads down to Moggio Udinese. After Moggessa it climbs through the valley of the Glagnò Torrent to Nuviernulis Pass. On the way down the trail goes through Foran da la Gjaline to the nearby Grauzaria Hut.
Detailed route description
From Resiutta cross the Resia stream (trail 743) near the hamlet of Povici di Sotto. The trail then climbs steeply to the Stavoli Lavorada peak (446m), and heads down northwards towards the SS13 road to Pontebbana. At Ponte (306m), cross the River Fella and head to Moggio Udinese, where there is an Abbey, a convent for the closed order of Saint Clara. Follow the bridleway (trail 418) through the hamlets of Riu, Moggessa di Qua and Moggessa di Là. At the following fork, take the turning on the right, trail 419, back up through the stunning scenery of the difficult valley of the Glagnò stream to the Forca Nuviernulis pass (1732m). The terrain is rough on the way down to Foran da la Gjaline (1560m), after which trail 437 leads to the Grauzaria hut (1250m).

Natural and cultural heritage
Moggio Udinese lies on the banks of the river Fella, at its junction with the Aupa stream. The church is worth a visit, with its frescoes and wooden statues, as is the Abbey, which has been rebuilt and is still home to the nuns of the closed order of Saint Clara. The landscape of the Aupa valley is severe, and subject to continuous changes in the mountains. Here begins the Carnia region of the Alps where stony peaks tower above green woods. From Moggio Udinese, those who are not climbers and therefore wish to avoid the difficulties of trail 419 will head for Campiolo and take trail 417, through rather wild landscapes, to Illegio, where the trail rejoins the main route to Tolmezzo. The Via Alpina trail goes through the abandoned villages of Moggessa di Qua and Moggessa di Là and heads into the Glagnò stream valley, with its regal atmosphere, between the steep slopes of Mt. Nuviernulis those of Creta Grauzaria and the Cima dei Gjai peak, where the high Nuviernulis pass separates it from Mount Sernio. These lands are poor, and those who live here struggle against the often violent forces of nature. The cuisine is therefore also poor, but tasty. At higher altitude there are a few thin pastures where the high passes permit access to other deep green valleys of the eastern Carnia region. There are some buildings (the Grauzaria and Casera del Mestri huts) that offer shelter to climbers and walkers and all those who seek out the beauty of silence. There are minor ungulates in the area: the Greek Partridge, the Hazel Grouse and the Eagle.
