Access to starting point:
From Friulian highway in the settlement Carnia we continue past Tolmezzo in the direction of Villa Santina on the main road SS52, and from here on the road SS355 in the direction of Sappada. In the settlement Ovaro signpost for Mione points us to the right and below the road and over the stream Degano.
Through Liunt and Mione we follow narrower, steep, newly (2014) asphalted road on numerous turns through the beech forest to mountain pass Passo della Forcella, where there is on both sides of the road some space for parking.
Path description:
On the mountain pass, we go on comfortable, marked footpath towards the south and we follow it to the upper ridge (to here around hour and a half), where the footpath turns to the left and on a little steeper and in parts exposed upper ridge in less than an hour we reach the panoramic peak.
A little lower on the west side of the saddle comes from the valley marked path, which after few hundred metrers joins here described path on the ridge.
On the summit, there is a cross with a bell and inscription book.
