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 the saddle, where we will on the right side of the road notice a smaller ski slope. We park on the macadam parking lot below the ski slope.
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:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road (on the left side of the ski slope - ski track on the northern side of the main road), which on a saddle branches off from the main road. By the road, we will also notice a sign which marks the path 625 towards the mountain hut Corsi and detailed map. In a left turn we leave the road and go right on a poorly beaten footpath which brings us to a macadam road which is ascending on the right side of the ski slope. For some time we are then ascending on the road, and then blazes point us to the left in the forest. After a short ascent, we come to a crossroad, where we continue right on the path 625 and the path towards the mountain pasture Pecol and mountain hut Brazza branches off to the left. The path is then still ascending through the forest and few times crosses a mountain road and it brings us to a crossroad, where another path, which runs towards the mountain hut Brazza branches off to the left. The path then turns to the right and starts crossing slopes towards the east. We soon come out of the forest on grassy slopes and then follows an ascent towards the saddle Passo degli Scalini (2022m), and usually there are a lot of ibexes. From the saddle then follows a shorter descent, which brings us to a crossroad, where the path towards the saddle Lavinal dell Orso (2138m) branches off to the left. At the crossroad, we continue right and soon from the right side joins the path 628, which leads past the bottom station of a cargo cableway. A relatively wide path then leads us below an overhang walls and past some military tunnels from the first world war. To the mountain hut Corsi then follows only a shorter descent on a grassy terrain.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the north, where we start ascending on partly grassy and partly rocky terrain. The path then brings us to a crossroad, where we go left on the path 627, and right leads the path 625 towards the notch Krniška škrbina (italian Forcella del Vallone) and forward towards the bivouac Gorizia. After a short ascent, we come again to a crossroad, where we go again left (direction Jof Fuart), and right leads the path 627 towards the notch Trbiška škrbinica (Forcella di Riofreddo). After that, the path turns slightly to the left and it brings us to the entrance of a little more demanding part of the path. Here the path turns right upward and also some easy climbing on rocky terrain is needed. After that, the path turns slightly to the right and it brings us to again a little harder part of the path. Here the path turns left upwards and starts ascending by the steel cable. Next follows a little low passage through a window and then again the ascent by the steel cable. The path then brings us to a crossroad, where from the right side from precipitous ledges joins the path Anita Goitan. After a short ascent, we come again to a crossroad where we go right, left path Anita Goitan branches off. Next follows moderately steep ascent on a rocky and a little more gravel terrain. A little below the summit from the right also joins northeastern path Gola Nordest. From here follows only a shorter ascent towards a very panoramic summit.
