Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo (to here possible over a border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then on a highway in the direction of Videm / Udine to exit Tolmezzo. From Tolmezzo we follow the road in the direction of village Ampezzo and mountain pass Passo Mauria. The road then descends and it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left (possible also right) in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all next crossroads, we follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo. In Cortina d'Ampezzo then we follow the signs for Alpine mountain pass Passo di Falzarego. On the mentioned mountain pass we come to a crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of Marmolada and settlement Arabba (right Alta Badia). The road ahead is for quite some time descending, and then it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pass Passo Pordoi (left Marmolada). Relatively wide and the ascending road we follow all the way to the mentioned mountain pass, where we park on a large parking lot.
Access from Primorska: We drive on a highway in the direction of Padova, but only to a highway junction, where we continue in the direction of Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and we follow the road ahead in the direction of Belluno, where at the larger crossroad we continue right in the direction of the town Agordo. From the mentioned town ahead we follow the signs for settlement Arabba and Alpine mountain pass Passo Pordoi, which is also a starting point for our tour.
Path description:
From the parking lot at first we carefully cross the road, and then we go on the path number 627 (direction Piz Boe). The path is at first ascending a little steeper on a panoramic grassy slope, and then it flattens and brings us on more rocky terrain. The path ahead turns slightly towards the left and starts ascending steeper again. After few minutes of additional walking, we finally leave the grassy slopes, and the path passes on gravel terrain, through which we are ascending on a quite wide path. The path higher once again flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue straight on the path number 627 in the direction of the mountain hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi and Rifugio Boe (right Ferrata C. Piazzetta). The path ahead passes on increasingly steep scree, which takes quite a bit of energy. This path, which is in the upper part also exposed to falling stones, then we follow all the way to the mountain hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi, which we reach, when we ascend to the top of the already mentioned scree.
