San Martino - Cima della Rosetta

Access to starting point:
From Nova Gorica, we drive to Italy and we drive forward on the highway to the settlement Portogruaro, where at the highway junction we turn in the direction of the settlement Belluno. We follow the highway to exit Belluno, after the settlement Belluno we follow the road in the direction of the settlement Feltre and then towards the settlement Transacqua and mountain pass Passo Rolle. An ascending road then leads us through the settlement San Martino. From the sign, which marks the end of the settlement San Martino we continue for approximately 1km, and then we will on the left side of the road notice a smaller parking lot where we park.

Path description:
At the starting point, we will on the right side of the road notice a signpost, which points us right on a footpath towards the mountain pasture Malga Pala. The path quickly brings us into the forest through which it is then for quite some time slightly ascending. Later, the path turns to the right and after a short ascent, it brings us to a marked crossing.
Left leads the path towards the mountain pass Passo Rolle, and we continue right towards the mountain pasture Malga Pala. The path further crosses slopes towards the southeast and from the path nice views open up towards the settlement San Martino and surrounding peaks. After that, the path turns a little to the left and starts ascending a little steeper in zig-zags through the forest. Later, the path becomes slightly less steep and still run through the forest. Such a path then a little before the mountain pasture brings us to a crossing where from the right side joins the path from a little lower starting point in the settlement San Martino. From the crossing then only a short ascent follows to cottages on the mountain pasture Malga Pala.
On the mountain pasture, we continue right on a gentle road which soon brings us to a ski slope. Here we continue slightly left and a short ascent follows to the hut Colverde where there is the station of a cable car.
At the mountain hut where there is a crossing, we continue by following the signs for »Rif. Rosetta«, left upwards leads the path towards the climbing path Via Ferrata Bolver Lugli. The path at first leads us through a short and thin lane of a forest and then the path with increasingly beautiful view is for quite some time ascending in zig-zags on slopes below peaks Croda della Pala and Cima Corona.
Higher when from the left side joins the path from the mountain pass Passo Rolle, our path turns a little to the right and crosses a slope below the cable car. Further, the path starts again ascending a little steeper, and on some spots is also slightly exposed. Ascent in spite of that doesn't cause bigger problems, because the path is very well secured, on exposed spots also with the fence. Here we are mostly ascending in zig-zags, and from the path, we have all the time a nice view towards the nearby peak Rosetta and other peaks above the valley Val Cismon. Higher, the path turns left towards the northeast and is becoming gradually less steep. Such a path then brings us on a saddle Passo di Rosetta where there is also a marked crossing.
To the left, there is only few minutes of easy walking to the mountain hut Rosetta, and we continue right towards the upper station of the cable car and summit Rosetta. A wide path from the saddle starts ascending on a relatively gentle rocky slope and we soon come to the upper station of the cableway.
Here we continue slightly left and we are still ascending on very panoramic path towards the summit. On this part is well beaten path marked with numerous cairns. When we get closer to the ridge path turns to the right and a short little steeper ascent follows to the top.
