Lake Avostanis, set at the foot of the mountain of the same name and under the imposing gaze of the Crete of Timau, is a silent witness to the Great War. This sheet of water of glacial origin reflects the majestic limestone walls that surround it-a popular destination for climbing enthusiasts-giving a landscape of rare beauty.
Along the path that climbs from Malga Pramosio to the lake, one encounters a memorial plaque at the place where, in 1916, the bearer Maria Plozner Mentil fell, shot to death by a Hapsburg sniper.

Public transport
For those wishing to reach the resort by public transport, it is recommended to start from the village of Timau, from which it is possible to take CAI path 402 that goes up to Malga Pramosio.
The recommended line is the 130 Tolmezzo - Arta Terme - Sutrio - Paluzza - Timau line of the TPL FVG service, getting off at the "Timau via Nazionale" stop.

Directions
From Tolmezzo, take the But Valley following the SS52, passing through the villages of Arta Terme and Paluzza, until you reach Cleulis. Here turn right into Via Muses (near Bar Pacai) and follow the signs for Malga Pramosio, taking the dirt road Via Martiri di Pramosio until you reach the malga.
The stretch of road from Cleulis to Malga Pramosio is unpaved, but generally in good condition and passable by normal cars during the months when the malga is open, usually from late spring to early fall (weather conditions permitting).
