Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroad near the lake Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. This road which is mostly ascending we follow to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway, which runs to the hut Gilberti.
From Bovec, we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to italian side. Only a little after the lake Rabeljsko jezero we come to the crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, follow the upper description.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we notice the sign for mountain hut Gilberti, which points us on the bottom part of ski track. When we step on track we continue left and after a shorter ascent, we step on a transport road which is ascending on track upwards. With relatively steep and for traffic closed road with every step new views are opening up, which are most beautiful on the nearby Bela peč and on Montaž group of mountains. The road higher gets very close to cliffs of Bela peč and then it brings us to the upper station of the cableway at the mountain hut Gilberti.
From the mountain hut, we slightly descend (direction west) into a smaller valley, where there is a crossing. We continue right in the direction of S.Grubia on the path which runs between the main Kanin ridge on the left and Bela peč on the right. The path ahead is at first ascending gently through the valley, and then it starts ascending steeper and after few minutes of ascent brings us to an old military fort on a saddle Bela peč.
On the saddle, we continue right where caption on rock “Bila” point us to. After a shorter steep ascent, the path brings us on the west side of the ridge. Here we at first in a gentle ascent cross a steep slope towards the north, and then we start ascending right steep upwards. When we reach the ridge, we continue left and after a shorter steep ascent on unsecured path we soon reach the peak.
