Remšendol - Šober / Monte Sciober Grande (via 518)

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Rateče we drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio. Only few meters before the mentioned town (immediately after longer underpass under the railway track) road branches off sharply to the left towards the village Koprivnik / Ortigara and Male Rovte / Rutte piccolo. We go on this road which through Male Rovte brings us to a crossroad above the mentioned village. We continue left (right Pliči / Plezzut) on even a little narrower road which higher flattens, and after a short descent brings us to the next crossroad, where near of it we park (we park the way we don't hinder forestry work).
Possible also access over the border crossing Predel (in the settlement Pliči / Plezzut we turn right, and then we join the road from the upper description).

Path description:
From the crossroad, we go right, on for traffic closed forest road in the direction of "Bivio, La Portella and Cave del Predil". The road which is barely ascending, after approximately 15 minutes of walking, it brings us to a crossroad, where the path number 511 branches off to the right (ascent possible also on this path), and we continue straight on "main" road which only a little further brings us out of the forest on extensive gravel terrain of valley Remšendol.
Over gravel terrain we continue by the right side (here are blazes less frequent because of torrent deposits), and then we notice the blazes, which point us slightly right on at first gente mountain path (path number 518).
The path ahead is ascending gently parallel with valley, and after crossing of gully passes into a lane of a forest. Next a short steep ascent follows through the forest and then the path brings us by the foot of steep cliffs (danger of falling stones), where we also step on an indistinct and exposed ledge on which we continue the ascent. Next follows gently sloping diagonal ascent on an occasionally exposed slope (in wet great risk of slipping), and then the path brings us to mighty gully. Mentioned gully we cross (by high water level, the passage is impossible!) and then on the other side we start very steeply ascending by the gully upwards (great risk of slipping). Higher, the steepness decreases and the path which all the time runs through the forest, after approximately 2 hours of walking from the starting point brings us to the cottage or bivouac Rifugio Cinque Punte, from which a nice view opens up on walls of Rabeljske špice.
From the cottage, we walk on the other side of the clearing, and then we continue left in the forest on a marked path (on number 520), that starts ascending by the foot of the Rabeljske špice. The path soon flattens, and then continues in crossing towards the saddle Sella della Malga.
Diagonal part of the path offers a nice view towards Poldnik (2063 meters), Mangart (2678 meters) and other peaks, which surround the valley Remšendol. After a shorter traversing, we come to the mentioned saddle, from which first a view opens up towards Viš group (for a view we have to go a little away from the marked path).
On the saddle, the path turns to the left and starts gradually ascending steeper and steeper. Higher, the path gradually passes out of the forest on the more and more panoramic slopes vegetated with dwarf pines. Even a little further, we step on the main ridge, where the path turns slightly to the right, for few steps descends, and then it brings us below the peak, to which we have only a short steep ascent.
The starting point - Rifugio Cinque Punte 2:00, Rifugio Cinque Punte - peak 1:00.

On the way: Rifugio Cinque Punte (1520m), Sella della Malga (1616m)
