Passo Pordoi - Rifugio Boe

Access to starting point:
Access from Gorenjska: From Rateče or Predel we cross the border to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then we continue 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.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo then we follow the signs for Alpine mountain pass Passo di Falzarego. On the mentioned mountain pass we come to a crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of Marmolada and settlement Arabba (right Alta Badia). The road ahead is for quite some time descending, and then it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pass Passo Pordoi (left Marmolada). Relatively wide and the ascending road we follow all the way to the mentioned mountain pass, where we park on a large parking lot.
From Primorska: We drive on the highway towards Venice / Benetke / Venezia. At town Portogruaro we leave the highway towards Venice and continue right on the highway towards Pordenone. At the next highway junction near Conegliano, we continue right towards the settlement Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends and at the next crossroads we continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Further, follow the upper description.

Path description:
From the parking lot at first we carefully cross the road, and then we go on the path number 627 (direction Piz Boe). The path is at first ascending a little steeper on a panoramic grassy slope, and then it flattens and brings us on more rocky terrain. The path ahead turns slightly towards the left and starts ascending steeper again. After few minutes of additional walking, we finally leave the grassy slopes, and the path passes on gravel terrain, through which we are ascending on a quite wide path. The path higher once again flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue straight on the path number 627 in the direction of the mountain hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi and Rifugio Boe (right Ferrata C. Piazzetta). The path ahead passes on increasingly steep scree, which takes quite a bit of energy. This path, which is in the upper part also exposed to falling stones, then we follow all the way to the mountain hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi, which we reach, when we ascend to the top of the already mentioned scree.
From the mountain hut, we continue right in the direction of the summit and mountain hut Rifugio Boe. Further, a very wide and gently sloping path, then for some time crosses slopes towards the east, whereupon it brings us on more plateau terrain, where we come to a marked crossing.
We continue left towards the mountain hut Rifugio Boe, and straight leads the path ahead towards the summit Piz Boe. From the crossing, our path crosses slopes towards the north and in doing so slightly ascends by the steel cable. The path is here wide enough and well-secured, so that ascent doesn't cause bigger problems. Further, the path for quite some time crosses slopes on the western side of the peak Piz Boe and in doing so occasionally also ascends a little. The path is all the time quite gentle and soon a view opens up towards the mountain hut Rifugio Boe. From here only a short descent follows to the mountain hut.
