Passo Falzarego - Col Galina

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.
Or from Primorska side, where we drive on a highway in the direction of Trst / Trieste. Further, we drive on Italian 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 at the next crossroads we continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo and then we follow the signs for Alpine mountain pass Passo di Falzarego. This ascending road we then follow to a large parking lot on the mentioned mountain pass.
To Cortina d'Ampezzo we can also come from the direction of Austria (direction Karawanks Tunnel, Spittal, Lienz, Sillian, Dobbiacho / Toblach, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Passo Falzarego).

Path description:
From the mountain pass Falzarego we go towards the south on the path 441 (direction Rifugio Averau and Rifugio Nuvolau), which starts ascending on gentle grassy slopes. After a short ascent, we come on an unmarked crossing, where less noticeable footpath branches off to the right, which leads towards the summit or ridge of Col Galina. We go on the mentioned footpath (path straight leads towards the mountain hut Averau), which at first crosses slopes towards the right, and then for some time brings us on more plain terrain, where we step on a transport road. We continue on the mentioned "road", which is further ascending on the right side of the ski lift, more precisely on a ski track. This occasionally steeper path, we then follow to the main ridge, where "road" turns left, and here we leave it and we continue right on a poorly beaten, but well visible footpath. The path ahead immediately steeply ascends and it quickly brings us on a very panoramic ridge, on and by which we are then ascending to the top, and we reach it after approximately 10 minutes of walking, from the spot when we left the ski track.
