The 2156 m high Monte Zeda on the edge of the Val Grande National Park is a magnificent viewpoint mountain. The easiest ascent leads from Passo Folungo to the summit.
After a bumpy gravel track from Il Colle to the starting point at Passo Folungo, we first ascend from the saddle on narrow paths along the meadow ridge of Monte Vadà. Then the old military road, which was once part of the Linea Cadorna defensive line, leads us to Bivacco Pian Vadá. We then continue along the military road, which is mostly buried and hardly recognizable here, across to the Pian Vadá saddle at the foot of Monte Zeda. Another good 300 meters of height over the steep eastern ridge, then we have made it and stand on the summit. At the cross, a magnificent panorama awaits us. For the descent, we choose the easier route that always leads down to Passo Folungo along the military road.
