Access to starting point:
After the exit from the highway Trbiž - Videm at settlement Carnia (Tolmezzo) we follow the main road past Tolmezzo towards Villa Santina. In the center of the settlement at the roundabout, we leave the main road and go straight following the signs Raveo, Rigolato. We follow this road through Forni Avoltri all the way to the settlement Cima Sapadda, where immediately behind the church we continue right on a narrow and steep road in the direction of source of river Piava, Sorgenti del Piava. A little higher on plain Pian delle Bombarde we park on one of the parking lots near inn Baita Rododendro.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go past the inn Baita Rododendro and through a bridge over the river Piava we step on former military mule track Pian delle Bombarde - Laghi d'Olbe. At first very steep path takes us above the gorge of the stream Rio della Miniera, where a view starts opening up on the southern slopes of the mountain Monte Lastroni. The path flattens a little and goes towards the west. A little further, we get to a crossroad, left goes path towards the mountain hut Rifugio 2000, and we go straight towards the lake Olbe. The path then leads by the stream over mountain pasture Olbe to the memorial chapel, where there is a juncture of several paths; to here it is possible to come also on a ski track or with a cable car from the valley Sappada.
From the chapel we descend towards the north towards the nearby lake and past it ahead to the next crossroad. Straight ahead leads the path on a saddle Passo del Mulo, and our path turns to the right towards the northeast. We again start ascending on for a short time quite rough path, little higher we cross shorter scree below one of rare rocky slopes and in few hairpin turns we get to the ridge. There we run into the first bigger remains of cottages of Italian army from the first world war, which are then accompanying us all the way to the upper part of the mountain Monte Lastroni. The path becomes slightly exposed, on a smaller notch before the very peak, where it avoids the ridge a little, for a moment also demanding. After few turns path quickly brings us on the upper ridge, on which we soon get also on the very peak.
On the way: planina Olbe (2090m), jezero Olbe (2150m)
