Rifugio Pederü - Bivacco Baccon Barborka

Access to starting point:
A) From Kranjska Gora over Korensko sedlo to Austria, where at the first larger crossroad, we continue left towards Podklošter / Arnoldstein and Trbiž / Tarvisio. By the end of the settlement Podklošter signs for Šmohor / Hermagor point us to the right on a regional road, on which past the mentioned settlement we drive to the end of the valley Gailtal, or more precisely to the settlement Kötschach-Mauthen, where we turn right towards the settlement Oberdrauburg. The path ahead leads us over an Alpine mountain pass Gailbergsattel (982 meters), after which we descend into the mentioned settlement. After we cross the bridge through river Drau, we continue left towards the settlement Lienz. In the main roundabout in Lienz we continue "left" in the direction of the settlement Sillian and Italy. Further, we cross the border between Austria and Italy, and we follow the main road past settlements Dobbiaco / Toblach, Villabassa / Niederdorf, Monguelfo - Tesido / Welsberg - Taisten, Brunico / Brunec. Only a little after the last-mentioned town, past which leads a bypass road, we turn left into a valley Val Badia. Further, we drive through the mentioned valley and in the settlement Longega we turn left towards the settlement San Vigilio. In San Vigilio then at the crossroad we turn left following the signs »Pederü«. After approximately 200 meters we then turn right also following the signs »Pederü«. We follow this road all the way to a large parking lot in front of the mountain hut Rifugio Pederü.
B) From Nova Gorica, we drive to Italy and drive forward on a highway towards Venice / Venezia. At town Portogruaro we leave the highway towards Venice and continue right on the highway towards Pordenone. At the next highway junction near Conegliano, we continue right towards Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends and at the next crossroads we continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. When we get into Cortina d'Ampezzo, we follow the signs for Alpine mountain pass Passo Falzarego. On the mountain pass Passo Falzarego (2105 meters) we turn right in the direction of the mountain pass Valparola and forward towards Val Badia. In the settlement La Villa we turn right towards the settlement Brunico. We then follow the road to the settlement Longega where we turn right towards the settlement San Vigilio. In San Vigilio then at the crossroad we turn left following the signs »Pederü«. After approximately 200 meters we then turn right also following the signs »Pederü«. We follow this road all the way to a large parking lot in front of the mountain hut Rifugio Pederü.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue to a crossing behind the mountain hut. Signposts point us slightly right on a footpath towards huts Lavarela and Fanes, left leads the path towards the mountain hut Fodara Vedla. A gently sloping path at first crosses a stream and a road, and then it starts ascending a little steeper through dwarf pines. After an initial a little steeper part path further becomes less steep, and on a shorter part it also descends a little. The path few times also for a short time joins the road, and then again runs mostly through dwarf pines on the right side of the valley.
Further, the path turns a little to the right and also increasingly beautiful views are starting to open up on surrounding peaks. Later we again join the mountain road, that runs by the stream Rü dal Plan. The slightly ascending road then brings us to a crossroad.
To the right leads the road towards the mountain hut Rifugio Lavarella (5 minutes), and at the crossroad, we continue left. The road then ascends a little and soon brings us to the hut.
At the mountain hut, we go on the path 10 towards the saddle Limo pass and mountain pasture Gran Fanes. At first, we ascend a little steeper on a footpath through the forest, which again brings us on the road. We continue right on the road with a view. A little higher road turns to the left and by grassy slopes brings us to a saddle Ju de Limo (Italian Passo di Limo, German Limopass).
The road from the saddle slightly descends and it quickly brings us to the lake Lago di Limo where the path branches off to the left towards the summit Col Bechei.
From the lake, we still continue on a gentle road which soon brings us to another crossing.
Left downwards footpath branches off towards the valley Valle di Fanes, and we continue right on a panoramic road which is still descending a little. A little lower from the left also a macadam road from the valley Valle di Fanes joins. From the crossroad only a short descent follows on a panoramic road to the hut Ütia de Gran Fanes.
From the hut, we continue on the road which leads us through a panoramic mountain pasture and we slightly descend. The road then crosses a small bridge and soon brings us to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we go left on the path number 17 or Walk of Peace (Fridensweg / Via della pace). The path from the crossing at first runs on a grassy slope and then it brings us into a lane very thin larch and pine forest. The path is further marked with number 17 and with signs VB and FR, which marks peaks Vallon Bianco and Furcia Rossa. The path is still slightly ascending and runs on an old military mule track towards the southeast. The path slowly turns a little more to the left and a view starting to open up also towards the east on the valley Valle di Fanes. Mule track here brings us on more rocky terrain on which we soon reach the crossing.
To the right leads the path 17 towards Monte Castello or bivouac Bivacco della Pace, and we continue left on the path towards the peaks Furcia Rossa and Vallon Bianco. From the crossing, the path then for quite some time crosses slopes a little more towards the east and it brings us to little steeper slopes. Next follows an ascent mostly in zig-zags on a steep slope and the path brings us to the next crossing.
To the right secured climbing path branches off towards the summit Furcia Rossa III and forward towards the bivouac Bivacco della Pace. At the crossing, we continue left and we are for some time still ascending on a panoramic path. After that, the path turns a little to the right and on a wide ledge and then on the upper edge of the scree again brings us to a crossing.
Left leads the path towards the summit Vallon Bianco, and we continue straight towards the summit Furcia Rossa II by which there is also a smaller bivouac Bivacco Baccon Barborka. From the crossing, we still continue in the same direction and we are ascending below the walls towards the south. The path then turns to the right and it ascends diagonally on a rocky slope towards the main ridge. A little before the ridge we then continue left and we quickly reach bivouac Bivacco Baccon Barborka. From the bivouac, we can ascend few more meters to the top of Furcia Rossa II from where a breathtaking view opens up on peaks above the valley Val Travenanzes.
We descend on the ascent route.
