Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo (to here possible over a border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then on a highway in the direction of Videm / Udine to exit Tolmezzo. From Tolmezzo we follow the road in the direction of village Ampezzo and mountain pass Passo Mauria. The road then descends and it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left (possible also right) in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all next crossroads, we follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo and then we follow the signs for Alpine mountain pass Passo di Falzarego. Already in the first part of the ascent towards the mountain pass Falzarego we will get to a crossroad, where signs for mountain pass Passo di Giau (2233 meters) and Marmolada point us to the left. The road behind the mountain pass Giau starts descending and lower we follow it through the settlements in the direction of Marmolada or mountain pass Passo di Fedaia. The road which then again starts ascending higher brings us on the mountain pass Fedaia where we park on a parking lot at the mountain hut Rifugio Fedaia.
Access from Primorska: We drive on a highway in the direction of Padova, but only to a highway junction, where we continue in the direction of Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and we follow the road ahead in the direction of Belluno, where at the larger crossroad we continue right in the direction of the town Agordo. From the mentioned town ahead we follow frequent signs for Marmolada or mountain pass Passo di Fedaia. When we get to the mentioned mountain pass, we park on a parking lot at the mountain hut Rifugio Fedaia.
Path description:
From the parking lot on the mountain pass, we continue left and at first, we descend a little on a grassy slope. We will soon on the right below the wall notice a footpath which leads through dwarf pines. We go on this footpath and start ascending diagonally in the direction towards the southeast. The path then turns to the right and then follows an ascent on a grassy slope towards a wall, where there is the beginning of the climbing path Via ferrata Eterna. A little before a wall path brings us to a crossing where we continue right following the signs Sass del Mul (left climbing path Via ferrata Eterna).
From the crossing, the path is slightly ascending on the wide path, which is quite poorly beaten. Blazes lead us on mostly grassy slope towards the summit Sass del Mul on which we can see numerous tunnels from the first world war. The path then starts ascending on a little steeper slope left from rocky secondary peak. Since the path is relatively poorly beaten on this part especially in wet some caution is needed. The path later again becomes less steep and on a grassy terrain brings us to a smaller saddle below the summit. On the saddle from which a view opens up towards the lake Fedaia we continue right and only a short ascent follows to a panoramic summit.
