Sella Nevea - Monte Robon (via 636 and 637)

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, we follow the description above.

Path description:
At the parking lot, we go on a narrow asphalt road by the hotel Nevea. After approximately a hundred meters of walking on the road, signposts point us to the left through a meadow on a marked footpath (path number 636). The path soon brings us into the forest through which we are then on a military mule track ascending. Forest is becoming thinner and the path soon brings us to the ruins of barracks Poviz. The path is then still ascending and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of saddle Prevala (right mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti).
The path ahead flattens a little and becomes more and more panoramic. And only a little ahead we come to the next crossing. This time we continue straight on the bottom path in the direction of "Sella Robon" (right slightly upwards Prevala).
Ahead relatively gently sloping path, continues over an ample plateau karst terrain, over which leads us very well-preserved mule track. Next follows approximately 20 minutes of easy walking on the path, from which beautiful views opening up on Montaž and Viš group on the left and on the right towards Lopa, Hudi vršič and later also Velika Črnelska špica. Eventually, the path brings us on an indistinct saddle, from which the path starts for a longer time descending. After the descent, we are lower for 150 altitude meters, and the path brings us by the edge of a high mountain cirque, where from the left joins also the other path from Nevejski preval.
The path ahead starts moderately ascending and in few hairpin turns it brings us on a panoramic saddle Vrh Laških brežičev (in Italian Sella Robon), where there stands an information board and next to it table with two benches.
On the saddle, we continue left (straight Jerebica 6 hours) and we continue the ascent on easy to follow, but further unmarked path. The path ahead ascends diagonally on a quite steep slope, and then it flattens and it brings us to numerous military fortresses. Mentioned fort we bypass on the left side on a wide carved ledge, after that only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to caving bivouac Modonutti - Savoia.
From the bivouac, we continue left, on at first still easy to follow path, which soon crosses a short exposed ledge, and then turns to the right and very steeply ascends through smaller notch, where we get help from rocky stairs. Higher, the path flattens and starts vanishing among numerous limestone pavements and abysses, but because numerous cairns show further path, orientation at least in nice weather isn't difficult. Higher, the path starts turning a little more to the right and then leads us past numerous abysses. A little below the summit, we come to mighty abyss, by the edge of which leads on short part damaged path. Here instead of crossing exposed passage over rotten wood, it is much safer, that on the right side we climb a solid rock, or in the lower part we crawl through it. When we step on the other side of the mentioned passage, the path flattens and past another exposed, but wide ledge quickly brings us on a panoramic peak.
