Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana through Karawanks tunnel to Spittal. Next we drive towards Lienz, where at the roundabout, we continue in the direction of village Sillian in Italy. On the italian side of the border, we quickly come to San Candido, where we continue left in the direction of tourist town Sesto / Sexten. Only a little after town Sesto we come in San Giuseppe / Moss, where signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal point us to the right. Next we drive on an ascending road which we follow to a large payable parking lot (3€ for parking longer then 6 hours, otherwise 0,5€ per hour – August 2015).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue few ten meters on the main road and a little before hotel Dolomitenhof we go right on a narrow road which is closed for traffic. At first still paved with asphalt road soon becomes a macadam. From the road, we then go left on a wide footpath which leads further through a scenic valley. On a gentle path, we then soon reach the mountain hut Talschlusshütte / Rifugio Fondo Valle.
At the mountain hut, we continue right following the signs »Rif. Tre Cime« and »Rif. Comici«. After few minutes of walking on a wide footpath we come again to a marked crossing. At the crossing where there is a magnificent view on the northern wall of the peak Einserkofel / Cima Una (2698m) we continue left on the path 103 where signs point us to the mountain hut Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte, and right leads the path towards the mountain hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte.
Further, the path turns left and runs on a gentle terrain mostly by dwarf pines towards the valley Val Fiscilina Alta. The path then starts ascending in zig-zags and brings us on slopes on the eastern side of the peak Cima Una. Here the path leads high above the valley below the steep walls and all the time runs towards the south. At first, the path few times crosses a slope with thin forest and then it brings us on even steeper slopes. Since the path is wide an ascent doesn't cause problems. In the winter time, when there's a snow the path is dangerous for slipping. In the last part of the path towards the mountain hut a nice view opens up on the precipitous walls of the peak Collerena 2607 meters, then the path turns slightly right and only the last ascent to the mountain hut Comici follows.
At the mountain hut, we continue left on the path number 103 following the signs »Carducci Hütte«. At first, we slightly descend on a grassy terrain towards the scree below the walls of the peak Croda dei Toni (Zwolferkofel). When we come to the scree, the path turns to the left and we soon come to a crossing.
Sharp right upward leads the path towards the notch Forcella Croda dei Toni (Zwolferscharte), and we continue towards the southeast and start ascending towards the notch Forcella Giralba. We are still ascending diagonally on the scree below the mighty walls of the peak Croda dei Toni and the path brings us to a crossing by the lake Lago Ghiacciato (Eissee).
Left leads the path named Strada degli Alpini (Alpinisteig), and we continue with an ascent towards the notch Forcella Giralba. A little before the notch another path branches off to the left, which after a shorter crossing joins the path which branched off at the lake.
On the notch, we continue on the south side and start descending towards the mountain hut Rifugio Carducci, which we can already see. To the hut path from which we all the time have a breathtaking view to mountain walls of the nearby peaks is all the time descending. From the notch to the hut we descend approximately 130 altitude meters.
Towards the starting point we can return on the ascent route or we continue on a circular path around the peak Croda dei Toni (Zwolferkofel). This path is very demanding and we will need a helmet and self-belay set.
The descent is possible also on the south side towards the settlement Giralba. This path is because of a landslide (July 2015) also demanding and especially in rain is not advised to descent on this path.
